1879 Marriage Charles Harris to Annie Eliza Thomas

Charles Harris we believe married around 1879 but we can find no marriage certificate. His wife was his cousin Annie Eliza Thomas. She had married William Stow in 1876 and they had a child in 1877 named Harriet Eliza Maude Stow. Official records show on the 1881 census that neither the parents or child can be traced. However William Stow remarries in 1886.
It would appear that the child died in infancy and the parents split up. Annie Eliza reverted to her maiden name of Thomas and moved in with her cousin Charles Harris. They couldn't officially marry as she was still legally married to William Stow. When he married again he declared himself a widower which of course was untrue and bigamous.
