Grandfather jailed for bigamy - missing link

[Milliepede]

It wouldn't have been discovered till after he married his second wife would it? He hadn't done anything wrong up to then. 
Or do you mean noted on the records after it was discovered? Interesting question.

Yes I meant after it was discovered that he was already married

I did notice a number of online posts where researchers indicated that a notation was made on the marriage entry if either party was convicted of bigamy.  Although the marriage will still appear in the indexes, if you try to order a copy of the marriage cert the Registrar General will refuse the request as it is not a legal document.  I don't know if they would be willing to just supply a transcription of the information instead.

I did wonder if Dan has the original marriage certificate from 1945.

I have a copy of a bigamist marriage cert(as it turned out later) from 1959.
I ordered it in 2004 and they sent it with no problems,there's no notation on there to say it was any different than a usual marriage cert.

He was found out and imprisoned in the mid 1960's.

Another myth busted!

Interesting thread anyway but the OP doesn't seem to be that interested ...

Some of us have real lives and other things that need to be done before we spend time here.

I'm sure Dan will come back and join in when he is able to.

I look forward to that day when I get done and I get a real life ...

Grazia ...

Have been following this thread with interest.  Still not totally clear to exactly what exact "facts" and info to chase (up on). It's a plot with many twists it seems. Nonetheless there are many of rchatterers who have been very dogged chasing info and thinking of possible avenues to hunt down.
Just wanted to give a pat on the back.
