I believe this listing refers to the Janet Louise Roberts "The Weeping Lady" first printed by pocket books in 1979.

Although I remember this being an ok read, just six months later I can barely remember the story. The mystery of the ghost (thus the title) was not terribly clever but did keep the plot moving along. From the back cover:

Lady Elinor Melbourne had been jilted under the most sudden and mysterious circumstances. But her sorrow was tempered by good fortune when she inherited Melbourne Hall, the spacious property of her elusive uncle Frederick, where she soon submerged herself in new-found work. She strove to improve the lot of her Uncle's many impoverished tenants. She also fought off the persistent advances of her neighbor, Sir Michael Grenville, and her cousin, Sir Francis Crowley. But Elinor had one other, more disquieting job: to find out who the blond girl was, the girl she saw weeping and then vanish in thin air. She had to know if this creature was alive, or the tormented ghost of her Uncle's child-bride. Elinor Melbourne had buried her grief- but she had also unearthed a tragedy from beyond the grave.
