I take that to mean that it was a marriage by declaration before witnesses, and the absence of a record on SP to mean that they omitted to register the marriage. Understandable if he was not free to marry - though omitting to register the marriage would not make it any less bigamous. And bigamy is a criminal offence and he was a police officer.
