Found the marriage

Marriages Dec 1883 (>99%)
GRIFFITHS Samuel George Pancras 1b 87
TAYLOR Ann Frestone Pancras 1b 87

It might be worth buying it to see if he was a bachelor or widower, and if he names his father as Samuel Griffiths as per the 1872 marriage.

As divorce was so expensive, quite a few bigamous marriages took place.

........

I reckon it was a bigamous marriage. After all, he was able to move around the country with his job. Only family would know any different!

Ian - depending on which line you are interested in, we could send you images of both marriages.
