The freeband record show his first wife as being Sarah Elizabeth and his second wife's name was Dorothy. The only Elizabeth or Sarah Elizabeth Quick's death is one in South Stoneham Hampshire in 1899. Maybe they were divorced.

Paula and Dea yes you have the right person.

I watched WDYTYA the other week when the actress found out her grandfather was a bigamist. and my mother was wondering if that was happened to her grandfather as she never met him. we know elizabeth lived into the 1950s but after ww1 benjamin was never seen again but cant find any death records for him but they were never divorced as far as the family knows

Niot sure but the only thing I can think of is to order the Marriage Cert for the first marriage and see the fathers name listed and then order the second marriage cert to see if same father?

Perhaps someone can tell you if any different

Well, there are 2 Benjamin T Quick's on 1901.

I suspect the second one is probably the one who married Dorothy M Pobgee (the first one being 'yours') :

Benjamin T Quick Elizth S abt 1872 Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England Head St Albans, Hertfordshire

Benjamin T Quick son of William T, Harriet abt 1891 Bees, Leighton Buzzard Son Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire
