Does a bigamist marriage get deleted from UK registrer?

Question

hellol,my great grandfather 's second marriage (to my great grandmother) was bigamy, i.e. he did not have a divorce from his first wife, but I can't find any record of the wedding, would it be struck from the records or should I be able to find it in the register of births marriages and deaths? the year of the marriage was approx. 1919? i' 'm looking on 1837 online.com for a wedding between thomas arkley and sarah draffin. also would it be reported in the press? family legends says he served 6 months in prison for this crime? any info gratefully received, thanks amanda

Answer 1

Who cares. The old whore monger is dead. I would find it very rare that public records list multiple wives.

Answer 2

No.
