Title: CUMMINGS/DAVENPORT/HALL marriage S.A
Post by: whpool on Monday 02 August 10 00:23 BST (UK)

Hi all,

Hope this makes sense - I have a Susan Eliza Hall b. 1880 Walkerville, SA. a 'marriage' to Joseph Benjamin Cummings [that's his real name] abt 1902.  First three daughters were registered as surname Davenport, then following children as Cummings.  We think he was never divorced from his first wife, in fact he had another wife after Susan Hall [without bothering to divorce Susan].
Susan and Joseph must have gone through some sort of 'marriage' ceremony because she applied for his war pension and then found out about the first wife.
Could someone please try to find a marriage for Susann and Joseph [we've found that he was also going by the name of Roy Davenport].

Thanks, Maureen
