Can anyone untangle this man's wives and children?
First marriage to Eliza Dorrington Q1 1900 Croydon. Minnie born 28.12.1900 in Croydon, MMN Dorrington
Second marriage to Emma Moulton Q3 1903 Croydon.
First wife Eliza dies Q4 1908 Croydon. Were she and William divorced? Or did he marry Emma bigamously?
In 1911 the family is:
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Occupation Age Birth year Birth place
William Ledger Head Married Male Plate Layer 36 1875 Surry Limpfield
Emma Ledger Wife Married Female Ironer42 1869 Kent Woolwish

William Ledger Son - Male - 3 1908 Surrey Stoal Mest
Henry Taylor Wife Son - Male A B 24 1887 Kent Woolwish
Louisa Taylor Wife Married Female - 22 1889 Kent Endenbridge
This seems to be young Emma,

And this seems to be young William, but the MMN is different:
