I.G.P., how do you think anybody could have checked up on these things? There was no instant broadband to check records in 1930. |

well doing some research for a distant relation i found his gran remarrying in 1925 as a widow with no record of her husbands death . he had deserted her many years before in about 1909 when she ended up in the workhouse pregnant & with a toddler ,having put her eldest two in Barnardos |

1930, not 1830 How do we know no-one was checking things by then? |

No, no one was checking these things. I have found two bigamous marriages in my tree so far and I suspect it was a fairly common occurance to claim to be widow (er). |

In the 1930's if you were re-marrying and claimed to be a widower would you have to produce evidence that your previous partner was dead? |
