Bigamy

[MarysInMyTree]

Vague possibility: There is a marriage in June quarter 1965 between
Ranion Steen and Patricia M Furlong - in Brent 5a 727

ni = m with bad handwriting...maybe? making Ramon Steen

Sorry - I have the wrong timeframe - you're looking between 1956 and 1962(date of newspaper article.)

Thank you.
Yes that is Ramon and his third marriage or rather his second legitimate one!
My friend is looking for a bigamous marriage between 1952 and 1965.  Again thank you for helping, All suggestions are always appreciated.

He was b 7.7.1933 & died 2002 in Northampton.   Where was he born?

His first wife was b 1935 Scotland - after his bigamous marriage came to light there was presumably a divorce before the 1965 marriage as I can't see any death in either Scotland or England for his first wife before 1965.

Perhaps the divorce docs are the way forward?

Thank you for more good advice which I shall pass on.  I'm posting on here for my friend, she has been researching for many years but has never used "Rootschat".
Ramon was born Edinburgh area. I believe you have found the correct person.  He is the only one we could find.
Another strange piece of information we have found .........
Electoral Reg. for Edinburgh 1965 lists
Raymond Steen
Mary W.P. Steen
I know my friend has ordered two certificates.  They should be here in the next couple of weeks.
Be interesting to see if they help.

Raymond & Mary WP Steen appear to be together on electoral registers between 1961 and 1966 at least. No Mary in 1955 & 1956 then a gap to 1961. records end in 1966

What date was the newspaper article you mention in Reply 5 & where was he in prison?

Depending on the date of the newspaper article referred to above - I'm wondering whether the bigamous marriage was to Patricia Furlong?
