If they had a wife still living, they weren't allowed to legally marry again. What you're referring to is the 7-year rule whereby a husband or wife could remarry if they had had no contact with their spouse and believed (claimed, alleged or knew) s/he was dead. However, if said spouse were then to turn up, the first, legal, marriage continued and any children from the second, bigamous, marriage were illegitimate. There was no penalty for the the couple involved in the second marriage. That applied to abandoned/deserted husbands/wives in the UK as well. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

Does anyone have an example of a man who, married in Gloucestershire, was then transported to Australia where he married a second time, bigamously?

I have Quaker ancestry from England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Here are several sites that have helped me. Granted they may have more American Quaker ancestry but I know I have seen some data on Quaker sites pertaining to the UK. These are free sites and worth a look. Perhaps, you will find a meeting record. I did for Northern Ireland.

I'm sure this happened all of the time.  Here in the USA, people that worked the Railroads would have families at both ends of the line; not common but still happened.  I know this for fact because my Grandfather was one of them.  The routes were long and the layovers were long and nature took its course.  Railroaders were well paid and able to support two families.

Colin, No specific help but have you looked at the deaths in that area for a Hicks that would fall into that age?  My GGGrandfather was married before my GGGrandmother and we didn't know that until we stumbled across the burial record when we visited the Gwent RO.  We then went looking and found the marriage record.  It also looks like he married one of the witnesses to the original marriage; probably all friends.

Somewhere in my records I have a Bowles in that scenario., I came across a researcher from Australia named - I think- Justin Bowles who was researching his gggrandfather who was transported for what seemed to me a very insignificant crime.

Hi Janet I located a copy of a book called 'Gwinnett Memoirs' at Gloucester Library several years ago - two volumes published in the 1730s. A couple of years ago, I spotted one volume for sale at the rather high price of $400 - I didn't buy it. Recently, I have been able to download a free copy from Google books! A great system for those books that are no longer available.

Hi Randi, at Gloucester Archives I have used a Quaker book based on Horsley, where the Meeting Room still stands and, as far as I know, is used. Horsley was part of a circuit so I imagine that the places that you mention are another circuit. From what I recall some of the Quaker elders travelled from one place to another on nights when there was a full moon [and, presumably little cloud.] They dealt with matters concerning the Friends at each meeting house. They had to approve of marriages and I read of one instance when a Quaker girl, Hannah CUDD, married a HESKINS boy and was strongly castigated for so doing. So it may be that there are similar books for 'your' area. As I remember they do contain names but maybe not the names of every single Friend.

Hi Liz, I spent some time yesterday reading [on-line] the memorial of John HESKINS junior, published in the Baptist Journal of 1840. Brilliant... I would have to buy a copy of the FLINT book for about £25 as the text is not on line but I have only made a precis and have ignored some sections, so it would probably be worth purchasing a copy. You are fortunate indeed to be able to read the 1730s books on line... In November I looked at some more of the D2424 uncatalogued accessions, including some most interesting material. This was also when Margaret Hawkins and I explored the area around Hawkesbury and saw the farm where Thomas HESKINS was brought up by his ISAAC grandparents. At present I am trying to put together a time line to include all of the Horsley HESKINS information in a grand effort to sort out families if that is at all possible, not having any Anglican baptisms.
