“Common-law Marriage”

The article says, “That marriage finished and Gilbert lived in common-law marriage with Mary Barnard Bilton until his death.” Is that just a rather prim euphamism for living together? That there’s a link to the article on common-law marriages doesn’t help, as it just goes to show that there is no actual standing for so-called common-law marriages in English law, and it might be better here just to say that he lived with/ cohabited with his partner… or whatever.
