I would have thought that Gordon's bigamy past was more than lIkely to have begun before his marriage to Nora yes given that he was allegedly jailed somewhere between late 1947 and 1950.
Based on the point that what we knew of Gordon's past and family etc, it could all be concocted as part of his cover-up.
Nora's family were and still are all living Co. Mayo, Ireland. Ony her sister Margaret lived in Leeds with her hence why she was possibly the only person who knew about Gordon's past and bigamy/jail term.
I don't know if railway companies at the time of their marriage kept personnel records but the marriage cert does say Gordon was a Railway Platelayer in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

Researching:
Markinson, Reddington, Leeds, West Yorkshire, Metcalfe, Mayo, Ireland

Do you have access to Ancestry ?

They have a database "UK, Railway Employment Records, 1833-1963" which might be worth a look but again how would you know before the 1940's who to look for.

Nothing showing for the surname of Markinson and not sure if Leeds is on the database

Researching:
