Hi Valda
   Thankyou for the additional information .Charles senior appears to have been tossed out of the nest and Mary married my ggrandfather William-third marriage for her and second for him-while still married to Charles.I'll bet she thought we would never know!

Hi Anne


Or he deserted his family, or it was a mutual split up. In those circumstances divorce was financially beyond ordinary working class couples so hence bigamy.
