I have an aunt/niece marrying a widower/widower's son in my family tree, but husband's London lot take the biscuit for not looking far for their spouses.
He has 2 gt gt gt uncles who marry sisters. These sisters have 2 other sisters who marry another set of brothers and then the widower from one of these couples marries the widow from the other set of sisters.
He has a gt gt grandfather who marries the aunt of his son's wife.
Now I've found that his gt gt grandfather had a sister who married the uncle of her youngest brother's bride. When this uncle died her 2nd husband turns out to be the father of her youngest sister's husband.
In the country, in a tiny village, I could understand it - but in London, there must have been a wider genetic pool to choose from, surely!
