Hi
I would appreciate your thoughts on what I think is quite an odd situation.
Alice/Kinnemund/Eliza Kuhnermund married Harold Ernest Carlyon Otway on July 3rd 1877 Holy Trinity Brompton, Middx.
She was 20, he was 23 & they married by license.
In the GRO index there are 2 entries for her under the different spellings.
Then also 1877 I found this in TNA
Divorce Court File: 5208. Appellant: Harold Ernest Carlyon Otway. Respondent: Elisa Otway otherwise Alice Otway. Type: Husband's petition [hx].
Covering dates 1877
What grounds would Harold have had to divorce his wife so soon after their marriage?
Harold married again in 1879
Alice was living back at home in 1881 described as single.
An Eliza Kuhnemund,( who I think was Alice) age 26 & a spinster married October 3rd 1882 to John Peter Groskopf.
I thought if someone had been divorced then the details had to go down on a subsequent marriage certificate.
I have found lots of newspaper articles about the divorce proceedings for Harold & his second wife but can't find anything re his first divorce.
