Bigamy
« on: Monday 03 January 11 23:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi

My Great Grandfather and his wife were both convicted of bigamy in 1926 as they had both remarried.

How would they have found out they were all ready married as it was years later they were both convicted? What would happen to people convicted of bigamy and is there anyway of finding out what punishment they would have been given?

Any help would be great :-)

Thanks

Hi Sancti

The date they were convicted was 25 January 1926 ( i have the RCE for both of them).  One was held in Calton, Glasgow and the other in Blythswood, Glasgow.

Thanks  :)
