Hiya, Bigamy. Everytime I hear that word (not often, I have to say!) it always reminds me of truly dreadful word-play jokes, including that one from 'Carry on Cleo' where Kenneth Williams (as Ceasar) says "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!" Sorry, just had to say that. Well, last night I visited an elderly aunt (would have been yesterday afternoon but the exhaust fell off my car......) I showed her the printouts of the family tree that I've compiled (26 pages of A4 cut and pasted together!!!). She put me right about a number of dates and people, etc, then I asked about her grandfather. As I'd already learned, he was a bit of a rogue. On a Friday, he'd get his dole cheque and disappear until he'd drunk it all. Also, he'd go all round the valleys (and beyond?) selling an ointment he'd made. Actually, he'd get his daughters (my grandmother and her 3 sisters) to make, made of lard and various other ingredients - my aunt said it was very good! Again, he'd go off selling the stuff, and would drink all the profits..... My aunt told me that, on the day he died (1945) her mother gave her a piece of paper to take to the post office, on it was a list of people and a message for the post master to send as telegrams informing relatives of the death. This reminded her of a number of relatives, but she didn't know how they were related. Anyway, she overheard a couple of women talking of her grandfather, one not knowing who he was, so the other said "yes, you know him, he went to jail for bigamy" My aunt didn't know what this meant, but knew it wasn't a good thing, so didn't mention it to her mother or grandmother. It could be true, it could have been misheard, who knows! He could have been married before he married my great grandmother (1905, Swansea) of after. I know their first two daughters were born in Swansea (Llando) and then they moved to Cwmbach, Aberdare. Anyway, I don't know when or where this happened, but probably in Swansea, although it could have been anywhere in Glamorgan. If anyone has any idea as to how I could go about finding out I would absolutely love to hear from you!!! Diana
