So let me get this right....

Tuckney married Mary Ann Carr after the death of Rebecca who died pre 1861.

His son Joseph married his step sister Mary Ann in 1868 who died in childbirth in 1877. He then marries Mary's sister and his step-sister, Ellen Carr in 1879.

Blimey - he was supposed to be a travelling reverend for the Baptist church so my dad was led to believe.

Of course then he married my great grandmother Ann  Eliza Harrison in 1899, so I guess Ellen must have died sometime before then.

Thanks everyone for all that information.

What was it illegal - to marry a step-sister or your wife's sister?

Surely it wouldn't have mattered if Mary Ann was dead?

   You were not allowed to marry dead wifes sister.
   It was illegal from Sept 1835... parliment passed the Deceased wifes Sister marriage Act in 1907 . In 1921 an act was passed to allow a widow to marry her deceased husbands brother.

   So  my great x 3 grandparents broke the law to marry ,one in a small village and nothing was done at the time.
