Thanks for the replies....... I checked the images of the marriages again. The second marriage in 1881 was actually C of E too. (My mistake) The writing wasn't that good and it was only when I checked St Benedict's it came up as C of E. I think Dai was correct in that it was a bigamous marriage and he was caught out somewhere along the line. One question.......in the early 1880's if one appeared in a bigamous marriage would the sentence automatically mean a prison term? Thanks again, Kevin.
Have a look at the word 'Bigamy' in the Cambrian index www.swansea.gov.uk/cambrian for some idea of cases and punishments at various dates. Some cases are entered twice under different headings.
