A trawl through the marriage index lead me to a possibility. The certificate arrived today, and my crossed fingers appear to have done the trick.

Ernest recordedf as Edward Welsh, father Alfred - a letter carrier, marrying Mary Craig, father Charles Walsh. This all ties in nicely with what I had previously.

Ernest Sydney Quelch; My aunt told me he was a bigamist, but I could find no proof.
Until now.
First marriage was easy enough to find as he uses his real name. The second one proved tricky. From the 1939 National Identity Register I knew her birth and name, but not her Maiden name (obviously), but I was pretty sure of that from other sources.

The Arabic world, as portrayed in the "Arabian Nights" tales, was an excellent setting for daring adventures and thrilling romances.

It appears that German folk tales agree!

I think this is the first time I've seen "burdensome homelife" as the grounds for a divorce. As it turns out, the husband was also still married. I don't know if the *third* wife knew he was still married to his *first* wife.

Some folks involved are still alive, so I won't say more.
