Hello Everyone,

I am trying to find more information about my Great Grans first husband John Lyle. He was a bigamist and was apparently charged.Details are sketchy as the family tried to keep this "scandal" quiet. According to their marriage certificate he was 41 in 1917 when he married my great Gran Ellen Sarah Buckley in the Registry Office Hastings. Their address at the time of their marriage was Newgate Road, Leonards on Sea, Hastings. Great Gran remarried in I think 1921 to Charles Brown. She had one child born in 1918 with John Lyle, named Emma. I am hoping to be able to find more about him and any articles etc related to the bigamy.

Thank you all so much for your time :-)
Cheers
Kathryn
