Thanks, this is really interesting as he married my Grandmother Louisa Elizabeth Kingswell in Dewsbury 1904, they never divorced and she re-married on the I.O.W in 1914. He also re-married as you have kindly found out, so it looks like they were both bigamists. I contacted Archives regarding their Divorce and they say they have no record.

Hi again,

I have been looking at Dewsbury area all the time, did not think he would go to Kent, as you have said I must learn to widen my search.

Also interesting on his service record he says he is married but did not marry again until 1917

Hi Valerie
Both wives are mentioned in his service record(Ancestry)
I will look for the death of his second wife.

I must be really thick (I know I am an OAP) but I cannot find that only the bit that says about his enlistment

Thank you I have now got that, cant believe I was so stupid.

No such thing as stupid Valerie. Not a word that exists in my vocabulary. Lacking knowledge, okay, forgetting, okay, not stupid.
