Having said that I don't think you should include

in that specific situation (because of the contradiction thing), you
could if you wished write something like (now, this is without knowing
any specifics) "There exists a marriage liscense that suggests that he
may have been married inbetween these two marriges, however there are
no research to support this" or something a little bit slicker.
So a marriage license (presumably found in a public archive) merely
"suggests" that this marriage exists. ;-)
I admit that it is possible to lie on such official documents (I've done
it myself), but there should be a presumption that most people will
complete these documents truthfully.
