Does anyone know how to find court records for a bigamy case?Dates are between 1945 and 1952. This would have been Romford/Chelmsford in Essex. Thank you for any help.

I found a record of a court case for bigamy in The Times. It was back in 1869 and the family lived in London but could be worth a look. You might be able to access the Archive through your local library online.
