  • First marriage dissolved by decree of High Court ??

    This man was divorced by his wife for adultery in 1936 and decree absolute was in 1937.
    He married the lady concerned in The Register Office Willesden in 1939 , it says in the condition column ,The divorced husband of ????.
    We then found another marriage record of this man and woman in 1949, in the condition column this says ,Whose marriage at the Register Office Willesden on 11th March 1939 was dissolved by the decree of the high Court in England on the 5th February 1948.
    Why would the first one have been dissolved any ideas ?????????

    Was the 2nd wife free to marry in 1939? Perhaps she too was serarated & needing a divorce? .... just a thought, interesting query!

        My point was - If when he remarried in 1939, after his divorce, the new bride may not have been free, so he had to remarry her when she was free .....?

          I think the fact that the 1939 marriage was dissolved means that it was a valid marriage. If, after the marriage, it was discovered that one or other party wasn't legally free to marry, the marriage would have been annulled. As far as I can tell a dissolved marriage is just one that has ended by divorce.

          Maybe they got divorced and then changed their minds?

              Perhaps they married too young and then got divorced and perhaps after the war met up again and decided to give it another go.

                he was 47 and had four children by his first wife when he married this lady who was 32 in the 1939 marriage.

                  My uncle divorced his wife and then married her again. So quite possible he married her twice.

                  Now they're divorced again.
