Wondered if this linked to DMS and his father's given name - brother possibly?

Many Thanks to all that replied to my posting.

Some is known about Donald Maxwell Swinnerton.
Including a marriage to a Agnes B Cullen in 1937,
and online family trees confirm this. But the tree
I have shows a marriage to a Stella ?.
Not sure where this information has come from.
Thanks,
bswinno.

Stella May can be found with Donald Maxwell from at least 1949-77 Australian Electoral Registers.
Believe she may have been married to Harry Charles Burton in 1927. Stella May was with Henry/Charles in NSW 1949 electoral register--suspect she and Donald not possibly in a position to marry.

Name   Stella May Swinnerton
Death Registration Date   1986
Death Registration Place   Victoria, Australia
Father   
Alfred John Porter
Mother   
Hall
Reference Number   28460

SS

added, Agnes Bridget Swinnerton is living alone in 1943-1949 Western Australia.

Interesting find softly,
So it would appear that Donald and Stella where just living together.
Many thanks.
