Do not assume that just because someone you found in America was married to someone else, that it must not be your man. I have several men who left Cornwall for America, Australia, Africa, etc., who just married again in their new country and never went back, without any divorce. I also have more than a few women who were abandoned in Cornwall who later reported themselves as widowed while the man who abandoned them was still alive. Divorce was not common at that time, and people just made "other arrangements."
