Grandfather jailed for bigamy - missing link

[M3D1C_Dan]

Mmmm, you obviously haven't made much headway since you posted on another site in August last year about your Grandfather. There were a few bigamist marriages late 1930's early 1940's especially with serving personal, my grandfather was a bigamist and only changed his first name.

If your grandfather was on French soil in WW2 are there any medals of his in your family that you know of as you may be able to trace him with a military number.

Sadly no headway was made and I had a breather for a while to concentrate on a few other things. I've decided to reopen it now and try explore a few other avenues.

No medals unfortunately, unless my uncles have any, but there has never been any mention of any.

Interesting case.

I wonder if that was his real name if no birth record exists.  Could it be he is registered under mothers maiden name 

Its seeming like that is a strong possibility I fear.
I'm not sure how you go about working out if other MARKINSON members from suggested families not known to be connected, are actually connected to my bloodline? As in the case of Eunice MARKINSON of Rotherham, already mentioned.

Have you found him on a census at all in 1901/1911?

Nothing found on the Census no

When are we thinking he had this bigamous marriage before or after 1945 

45 was a little old for a first marriage but if he wasn't imprisoned for it till 1947 does that mean that's when it was found out? 

Sorry for not understanding but it all seems a teeny bit fishy to me.  I definitely think some name changes have gone on.  I can't find a George horse trading and why would George not be on the marriage certificate if he knew who he was and there was nothing to hide

Bit of a long shot here there is a birth for a Frederick Charles K Wright 4th quarter 1900 in Greenwich. There is also a birth for a Gordon Richard Wright 4th quarter 1902 in Greenwich.
They may not even be related.

We can discount Frederick as he died in 1st quarter of 1901.

Do you have, or have you considered getting, his military records?

Clutching at any family that fits even a little with known info.

There's a Gordon R Gardiner age 1 in 1901 with a brother Fred A 2 and sister Rose F 5.
Father is George 34.
Birthplace Kingston Surrey.

However he seems to be Gordon Roberts Gardiner and dies in 1945 

5 children baptised at the same time 14 October 1900 - father soldier reservist.

Don't know where they were in 1911, maybe father posted somewhere. 
Anyway probably not your man so will stop there

Just throwing this into the topic....

If he was born in 1900 and he was working on the railways, would he have been called up? a)because of his age (too old) and b) the railways were reserved occupations

Did a quick google search for the Green Howards, and they not have seen active service at the front in ww2?
