Albert William Bouchard b. Apr 1884 Covent garden London (father Louis, mother Elizabeth) married Annie Lilian Rouse in London Qtr 4 1916 (01d 247). However within a year she was living with my Grandfather (J.P.O'Connell) who had left my grandmother with two small children. Annie used her stage name of Anita Lilian Doyle during this relationship and they had seven children before they married in 1942. This was 3 months after my grandmother died hence freeing him to marry. Albert had died in 1940 so Anita was free to marry in 1942 and did state widow on the marriage cert
Just as interesting(!) is the story of Albert who married Miriam Mary Edney in 1929 (Southwark Qtr 2 1d 149) He claimed to be a widower on the certificate but his wife Annie was still alive.
I've tried to find a divorce record without success and wonder if anyone can help.
