Yes thats about it unless she moved in with someone herself. Have you tried looking for her in later census.? Or have you looked for her death? |

So I guess the poor first wife would have been left unable to remarry. |

Technically, there was no valid 2nd marriage. Even if there's a GRO index entry, I think they won't issue an m.cert for it. |

His first wife would have to divorce him but that was costly. |

I was excited to find that I have a convicted bigamist in my tree. He was imprisoned for 3 months at the Old bailey in 1865. |
