Are the marriages that are had with bigamists still in the records or are they deleted as the marriage is disolved? |

A friend applied for a certificate of a bigamist as it was listed in the GRO index. |

AAaaah, so if I did happen to find it, it would be a waste of time. Thanks for that, I wont bother looking then! |

My GGG Grandmother was a bigamist. Her unlawful 2nd marriage is in the GRO Index. |

I'd expect to find the entry in the GRO index (and thence freeBMD), since in most cases, it wouldn't be realized it was bigamy until years after the index had been compiled. |

My great grandafather was a bigamist but was never caught. He and his first wife both remarried in the same town within a year of each other. All four certs can be ordered so I suppose it'll depend on wether they were found out or not. |

My grandparents marriage in 1945 was bigamous - but I've never ordered the cert as I have the original - but the entry is still in the index. |

Entries will still be in the indexes as they are a record of what is in the registers. |

I have a marriage certificate for a bigamist and didn't have any problem obtaining it. There was no record on it that it was a bigamous marriage either. |

I also have a marriage cert for a bigamous marriage, and again no mention on it that it was bigamous |
