I have a puzzle and I'm hoping that someone can stop me going round in circles please.
Charles Arthur Clifford, known as Arthur was born in 1903 followed by his brother Archie in 1905. They both appear on the 1911 census in Aston. On Boxing Day 1924 Arthur appears to marry Alice Clark at Aston Parish church.
On the Electoral Register the following year Arthur is living with his mother Laura in Dartmouth Street and continues to live apart from Alice who on later registers is living with Archie at the home of her parents, Herbert and Alice Clark in Waterworks Street. In 1927 he is on the Electoral register living at 210 Aston Road. This is next to the fish shop at 211 which his parents ran when he was born.
There is no record of a divorce as far as I can see for Arthur and Alice and Arthur marries again? in 1930 on the 21st April at the Park Lane Hall in Park Lane, Aston Manor. His condition is 'Batchelor'.
I'd really like to know who was married to who? Did Archie use his brother's name to marry, if so why? I can't find another marriage for him.
If he did marry in his brother's name was Arthur's 'second' marriage bigamous.
The only other scenario I can come up with is that Arthur did marry Alice and then she left him for Archie.
I overheard someone in the family say that Archie was a rogue and had a criminal record but this may not be true.
Any ideas would be welcome please.
