Second marriage 8th May 1917 to my grandfather, Walter Henry Clark at All Saints Church, Wyke Regis, Dorset (my grandmother is recorded as a spinster. I think it likely she never knew her first marriage was bigamous and lived her life thinking her marriage to my grandfather was bigamous as it's unlikely she would have ever found out LHW was dead given that he died under his assumed name of James Fraser.)

I now know my grandmother must have discovered her first marriage was bigamous - fmp added some new criminal records to their database which showed me that her first husband, Leonard H Whelan was convicted of bigamy whilst already in jail for theft/fraud. I still don't know if she ever knew LHW was killed in WW1.
