I know I have a cert for OH's tree where a married woman had several children with the man she left her husband for and the new man is named on the cert we bought to confirm. I thought I knew who the couple were, but it turns out I don't remember! I'm pretty sure this birth was in the 1850s. Of course the registrar may have assumed/been told she was a widow with a new man, but her husband was definitely still living.
