I'm currently tracing an offshoot of the main tree and have come across something I can't explain on the LMA records on Ancestry.
Albert Henry Rogers married Alice Hall 6 Apr 1913 St James the Less, Bethnal Green. He is 21, a soldier and his father was William, a fireman. She is also 21 and her father is Alfred, a labourer. A witness was Albert Henry Rawle who married Albert's sister Florence.
And then he married her again 25 Feb 1914 St Mark Victoria Park (Bow). He is 23 and in the army, correct detais for father. She is also 23 - correct details for father. Witnesses are Lavinia Morris, Albert's sister, and her husband Richard George Morris.
So it's definitely the same couple - any ideas why they would marry twice ????
A very puzzled Rick. :confused:
