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. His Ancestor, I THINK, not certain was named Thomas Bowles. He had a wife in England, however as his 7 year sentence dragged along, he found a new love and life in Australia, married and had a large family and never returned to England, Randi Bowles-Meentzen     --- On Mon, 1/17/11, Elizabeth Jack <ejack@gloster.demon.co.uk> wrote: > From: Elizabeth Jack <ejack@gloster.demon.co.uk> > Subject: [GLS] Bigamous marriage > To: gloucester@rootsweb.com > Date: Monday, January 17, 2011, 4:07 AM > Does anyone have an example of a man > who, married in Gloucestershire, was > then transported to Australia where he married a second > time, bigamously? > > > > Liz > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Elizabeth Jack > > Hidden Heritage:  <http://www.hidden-heritage.co.uk/> > www.hidden-heritage.co.uk > > Connect with nature:  www.wildobs.com > > Researching BLINKHORNE, SOSBE, GWINNETT > > > > > > _____________________________________________ > > Gloucestershire Family History Society: > www.gfhs.org.uk > > Gloucestershire Archives: > www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=15434 > > Gloucestershire BMD Index 1837 to 2005:    > http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GLOUCESTER-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message >

Hi Randi I begin to think it was quite a common occurrence. Understandable, in the circumstances.
