Some contracdictions in the text

Under the heading:

===Operatic career, marriage and death===

we have the following statement:

"Mario could never marry Grisi, because she was married although separated, from Gérard de Melcy and divorce was not permitted."

which is followed lower down by:

"During a trip to Saint Petersburg in 1869 Mario's loving wife Giulia Grisi died in Berlin"

Does anyone have a source to show that they did get married? Viva-Verdi (talk) 15:09, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the ualifying phrse, as it doesn't add anything to the text. hope it's all right.Actio (talk) 06:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most sources state that they were not married, some clarifying that it was because of her marriage with Mélcy; the only book where a marriage between them is referred to is the biography written by the daughter. Indees, she should know! but, on the other hand, she also could have a personal interest in it. That is why the doubt is still pending. --Vadsf (talk) 10:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with the spelling of the name Pearse, which is footnoted as also being spelled Pearse. Maybe I am missing something? Actio (talk) 06:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
