Thank you so much for all the suggestions and links.  I'm in the process of following them up and also talking more with Bryan.

Hi Muss,
Thanks for the link to the Army records for Bessie ROLES.  She seems to have had a pretty busy time
Enlisted in the Army - date unknown
- 1942 Married Ernest Sydney ROLES
- 1943 Discharged from Army
- 1944 In the divorce courts in Nov with HILL being listed as co-respondent
- 1945 Married Donald Maxwell HILL, Goulburn NSW
She appears to have still been residing with Donald in Goulburn according to 1980 Electoral Rolls.
Cheers, Lyn

As suggested by  tropicalj I now have Ernest's marriage to Bessie Crawford certificate.  His father is listed as George ROLES (deceased) Labourer and mother unknown.  I am still unable to locate information about a marriage between Ernest Sydney ROLES and Margaret Lucy HENDERSON (nee COOK).  Any information welcome.

The marriage index in SA only extends to 1937 but marriage certificates can be purchased if the event occurred in South Australia more than 60 years ie before 1953. They didn't marry in NSW to 1962.

Perhaps Bryan should contact the SA BDM's for further help.

So if anyone is interested I've sat down and talked to Pat Bradley.
She has a wealth of knowledge on all the family history.
I have information on reason for divorce
Ernest roles and how he came into the picture.
Who is next of kin were and where he came from.
However the story is quite dark. So if you want more information I'm happy to pass it on but I am unsure a public forum is best to talk about some of the stuff
