Some of you will remember my "who was Charles Villiers?" saga in which the cream of British society was put under the microscope.
Details from the marriage certificate are:
Charles James Villiers born c. 1862
married
Marie Bilger born 1862 Germany
on 3 Sep. 1904 at The Bavarian Chapel, Westminster
(GRO ref. is Westminster q3 1904 1a 1225)
Family talk says he was a bigamist (not necessarily this marriage) and no-one here was able to find out anything else about him, so the suspicion is that he gave a false name. It is also said Marie divorced him not long afterwards.
I'd like to find out about the divorce and I wonder if anyone is subscribed to a database site. A Google search came up with Ancestry but I'm blowed if I can find any divorce records there.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
