I have a question about the other side of this issue as it pertains to English law in the 1800's. What if the presumed dead person shows up some years after they supposedly drowned and were declared dead after a coroner's inquest? I know that "death" has made them no longer married to their spouse and that the spouse is able to remarry. If the "dead" person (who is now not dead) can be declared alive, does that restore the former marriage? Does the reappearance of the first spouse negate the second marriage? I've been looking all over the internet for something to answer the question and have only found information about the law as it pertains to declaring someone dead, but not what happens if they show up years later and want to reclaim their former life. Where would the law have stood on this?
