Elizabeth ,
You`ll need to give more info, year, area, names of wives if known, if anyone is to help you.

A quick look at freeBMD gave me about 15 Donald Henderson marriages between 1837 and 1916. could any of them be your man?

My Great grandfather Donald Henderson was a bigamist. He went to prison and family lore tells of newspaper articles on the topic 'Soldier commits bigamy'. I Am really keen to trace anything to do with this and also any subsequent children. My mum (his grandaughter) is sure there were some.
