If he was still in the army at the time of the trial, would the army keep a record other than the note that appears in his pension records?

Hi

Isn't it complicated. I hope to go to the mitchell tomorrow to search the newspapers. I know roughly the date of the bigamy trial so it shouldn't be too hard, I hope! will keep you posted.

Well I went to the Mitchell and searched all the newspapers and the case has not been reported. There was another Bigamy trial on the same day and that was reported in nearly all the papers. Maybe my one just paled into insignificance, because he was admonished.

I'd doubt it, as it would be seen as a civil matter.

Hi Jinty
To check for a (pre-1984) divorce on the online NAS catalogue try:
http://www.dswebhosting.info/NAS/dserve ... Search.tcl

AnyText - put in the two surnames e.g. Brown Smith
RefNo - put CS*

Word options
Phrase
And - click this one

Click the Search button.
If you wanted to see the document at NAS you would have to order it using the ref number and title of the record (e.g. CS251/1943/9267 John Smith v Janet Brown or Smith: Divorce [this is a made up one!]) 48hrs in advance as most (all?) are held off site (as I discovered on Thursday...

).

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Lesley

Yes I thought that might be the case.
