Advice / how to resolve please - UK

I have progressed very well in my reasearch into my tree but am stuck with my Gt Grandfather.
From his marriage and death certs I am confident that his full name was William Henry Knights and that he was born in abt 1875. From family info he probably came from the Harrow / Willesden area of N/London. I know he seperated from his wife Jeanne Tramasuer and had a new wife / partner. His marriage cert states his father was also William.
I can't identify him on the Census as a child or find a record of his birth.

I have gone back to basics and started from the begining several times and am now wondering if the details he supplied on his marriage cert were false as he may have been still married when he married my Gt Granmother, which would account for the family rumour that he had a bigamous mariage.A his funeral to 'wives' turned up apparently.

Can anyone on here advise me on how I can progress this, any advice will be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

John
