This one has me stumped...alice s johnson bigamously married harry griffiths in 1942 and was sent to prison for 3 months but looks like she then went back to live with him but used her former name...would the marriage have been annuled.Also , harry griffith died at 10 weelsby street in 1960 and the informant on death certificate was mabel o whitlam who was living there along with alice (harrys wife), so why wasnt alice the informant.I cant find a connection between alice and mabel whitlam although iut appears she had lived with alice and harry griffiths in 1957

When the second marriage was found to be bigamous, then that second marriage becomes void.   This no doubt why she  went back to Johnson.     Do we know when she appeared before the court and was sentenced to 3 months, and which court.   Have you the date of the death as I can look for an obituary in the local papers in the library the next time I am in.   By the number of different people who were listed with them it is possible that they took in lodgers, who were not related to them.   Were there any unusual circumstances re cause of death on the death certificate, which could be why Alice was not the informant.    Was she so upset that he had died that Mabel recorded the death for her ?   We will probably never know.

harry hugh griffiths died on 23rd december 1960
court case for alice bigamy was reported in lincolnshire echo on 8th november 1944 but she married harry in september 1942....newspaper says she was housekeeper and married harry to be a mother to his 2 children.
The trial was at the Lincolnshire Assizes

I know there was a family feud between alice and harrys family...he had been married before and has 5 children..apparently they didnt approve of alice

Is the Harry Hugh Griffiths, the same person as Harry Francis Griffiths, as his name is given in the electoral roll?
When I am next in the library I will see if there is an obituary for him and further article regarding the bigamy case in the Grimsby telegraph.

yes its the same person, thank you for your time,,,alice johnson was my half sisters grandmother who she never met and we only found out about the bigamous marriage last year so its very interesting.I wonder what prison she would have been sent to...seems a bit harsh but then the law is the law
