Married as a Spinster twice - How? my theory

[Essie]

Hi Meggles

Does this mean anything - I George's WW1 record it asks if he has ever had any Civil arrest (something along those lines I think) and he said Yes - could this be the marriage to Jessie that he was caught our for - it would that be criminial?

TROVE mentions several young chaps named George Henry DAVIS in trouble with the law in NSW but not for bigamy.

Extra News  - the marriage transcription for George Davis who married Minnie Croft has just come through - and yes it is the same George.
George married Minnie Croft 26 Feb 1907 at Forest Lodge and then he has married my Jessie May Chamberlain on the 30th Oct 1907 in Berry nsw.
There is no doubt at all that this is the same guy - same parents, (mother's maiden name the same - dads occupation the same etc)
So my question is where do I go from here? how do I find more info? 
what I really want to know is around about what date did Jessie find out (was it the same year - or was it 5 years later)

Wow!!

Could it have been around the time the baby was born that she found out??

Did he travel a lot for work - to explain the absences when he was with the other wife?

Where is Forest Lodge in relation to Berry?

[meggles]

Forest Lodge is in Sydney and Berry is South Coast near Nowra.
He had his occupation as a Labourer  when he married Jessie, when he married Minnie he was a farmer.
I have not proved yet that Jessie and George had a baby............... probably need to get another transcription.  I was hoping that I could get a idea of when she found out and that why I would have a better idea if they had a child together or not.

Forest Lodge is inner west suburb of Sydney near Glebe
Berry is not near to Forest Lodge as it is not a suburb of Sydney..  Do you need a link for GOogle Maps and 'Get Directions'

Did he have a short-lived bigamous marriage to Jessie May while continuing to live with wife Minnie in Sydney?.

What is the age and birthplace of George on the marriage certificates 1907 please?

Hi - he is 28 years old for both marriages.
George remained married to Minnie until her death in 1942 and he died in 1944.

I am thinking that if George and Jessie May had a child together then it would be Roy Davis born 1911 in Paddington - father George and mother May  (as per another thread - I have a Roy Elliott who was given to a relative to raise and he never knew his parents - he took on their surname - but we suspect the mother was Jessie - the years fit - but I will need to get the birth transcription)
Otherwise there is no other children that I can see that they had.

I wonder if George had a job that took him away - was he able to keep 2 families a secret because he travelled for work.............. I need to find out when Jessie found out - there must be some record somewhere............
