I am interested in this discussion as my Aunt, (who was born at Walford) according to the 1911 census had been married for 3 years and had 1 child. She went on to have 2 more children.
I am now in possesion of a copy of her marriage certificate for June 1915 where she marries a man of the same surname as her first husband.
But I think he may have been the first (husbands) brother.
She gives her maiden name on the marriage certificate and states that she is a spinster!!
I was wondering if this was to get round the law or perhaps she was never married to the father of the children.
