Hi all,
I have a dilemma, I have looked in the normal places (BMD free and National Archive) but have come across this problem:
William Moore b circa 1856 Guildford Married Matilda Radfirth Piper, Mar 1883 Brighton.
By 1891 Census William is married to Mary Jane French (b 1863 North Mundham)
No record that I can find of a divorce of William & Matilda (she did not die until 1901) and no record of a marriage of Mary Jane French and William.
Could you clever ones among you find either the divorce of Matilda and William or the marriage of Mary Jane French and William. Could it be there was never a divorce and the second "marriage" never actually took place?
Thanks
Jo
