Ghislaine Maxwell Apparently Has a Secret Husband--but She Won't Say Who He Is

(Daily Beast) Ghislaine Maxwell has a secret spouse whom she refuses to identify, prosecutors said at her bail hearing Tuesday. The detail came out as prosecutors pressed her to reveal the extent of her wealth. “In addition to failing to describe in any way the absence of proposed co-signers of a bond, the defendant also makes no mention whatsoever about the financial circumstances or assets of her spouse whose identity she declined to provide to Pretrial Services,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison Moe said. Maxwell’s lawyers requested that she be released on a $5 million bond, but Manhattan federal Judge Alison Nathan denied the British socialite bail. Prosecutors convinced Nathan that Maxwell is an “extreme” flight risk, given that she hid from authorities for the last year, lied about her wealth, and allegedly purchased a New Hampshire mansion using a fake identity. She will remain in custody until her trial in 2021.

THIS IS NOT THE GHISLAINE MAXWELL WE ARE LOOKING FOR! By some strange coincidence, the Ghislaine Maxwell in the records below is probably not the one that hung around with Jeffrey Epstein. Read the following messages to see why.

Ghislaine Maxwell

in the Florida, Marriage Indexes, 1822-1875 and 1927-2001
Florida, Marriage Indexes, 1822-1875 and 1927-2001

Name: Ghislaine Maxwell
County of Marriage: Osceola
Marriage Date: 27 Sep 1993
Maiden Name: Maxwell
Gender: Female
Race: White
Certificate: 094717
Source: Florida Department of Health

Ancestry.com. Florida, Marriage Indexes, 1822-1875 and 1927-2001 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2006.


Unfortunately this marriage index does not list both parties to the marriage. I'm trying to search the state's official records directly but I have to get the criteria just right. I'm either getting no results or too many to list. I think Osceola County may not have their records digitized that far back.

ETA - in 1993, she lived at 25 Alden Ave, Yonkers, NY. The only other residents, current or past, have the surname Lewis. Without paying for the source information, I cannot get their first names, ages, or sexes.

CORRECTION - 25 Alden Ave was ion 1995. In 1993 she lived at 457 Madison Ave #4, New York, NY 10022, also known as one of the Villard Houses:
The houses were commissioned by Henry Villard, then president of the Northern Pacific Railway, shortly before his railroad empire began to crumble. Ownership of the building changed through many hands throughout the century. In 1948, the Archdiocese of New York purchased the houses at 451 and 453 Madison Avenue, and in early 1949 it purchased 455 Madison Avenue and 24 and 30 East 51st Street. The houses themselves are now owned by the Sultan of Brunei, while the land remains the property of the Archdiocese of New York under a 99-year lease.

GOT HIM! Reverse search, no name for the man:
Name: John Robert Craigie
Spouse: Ghislaine Clark
County of Marriage: Osceola
Marriage Date: 27 Sep 1993
Gender: Male
Race: White
Certificate: 094717
Source: Florida Department of Health


He died in Gwinnett County, Georgia and Ghislaine was appointed his executor Sept. 26, 2018.

who looks like a relation - widow? of John Craigie:

"

"Above Top Secret" - a highly dubious conspiracy website - links that same marriage license number to "Ghislaine Clark" , maiden name Maxwell, and John Robert Craigie. They're too dubious to link to directly, but it's in Google's cache, if this works on DU:

11. You are right - this does not seem to be Epstein's Ghislaine

But it is very odd since that is such an unusual name. The Ghislaine M. Craigie in Duluth, Georgia is in her 60s, according to WhitePages.com. Epstein's Ghislaine is 59 (birthdate 25 Dec. 1961), so their ages are close.

I will edit my post above. Thank you!

It's French (Maxwell's mother was French), but I've never heard of another person with it in English speaking countries.
