Hi All, after a discussion with my aunt I have discovered that there has always been confusion over the death of Mary Green (Robb) as she died suddenly and there is a headstone next to George in the Broken Hill cemetery.
Firstly the George Thomas
GREEN and Mary Elizabeth
GREEN buried together in the Broken Hill Cemetery couldn't possibly be your family. Yes there is a headstone for this couple. Perhaps the researcher should have read the inscription.
This George T died in
1910 [not in 1905] in a mining accident aged
62 years and Mary E died in
1938 aged
75 years.

Deaths of the above couple - none of the parents names match.

Yes your George Thomas
GREEN is buried at Broken Hill but there is no headstone or Mary at the same site or nearby.

There is no proof that George is the person sited in the news article about a child abduction but I have a number of George Green's in my family so there could be a skeleton in someones cupboard.
I have also had a scanned document sent to me which tells a story of Charles Hayes and how he came to be in Australia. Charles Hayes is Mary Robb's maternal grandfather.
Why not purchase a transcription of the 1900 marriage cert? Costs AUD $20 and the transcript is emailed to you.
This certificate would give the groom's and bride's parents' names including the mothers' maiden names; ages, places of birth and occupation of the bride and groom and the groom's marital status.
Scroll down the page to the three approved transcription agents.

Who are you researching then......George Thomas GREEN or Mary ROBB?What is the name of your maternal grandfathers, grandparents, so my great great grandparents. I have the birth information of my great grandfather which includes his parents names and that they were living near Port Adelaide in South Australia at the time of his birth but everything else is sketchy.There are several registered Mary Robb's who marry men by the name of Green, so you can see my confusion.
Not in South Australia. This is the
ONLY GREEN/ROBB marriage in South Australia.
Marriage - and so we have some ages
GREEN George 20 years Status Single Father John Edward GREEN
ROBB Mary 19 years Status Single Father David ROBB
25 Sep 1890
At St Paul, Port Adelaide 164/1057
Incidentally Mary's brothers also married at this church and the father was David
ROBB of Birkenhead. Have a search on TROVE for the notices.

Mary
GREEN Died on 15 Jun 1899 at 28 years of age.
Previously lived in Port Adelaide , SA.
The grave site has been re-developed.
You have lots of opportunities to validate research with some certificates eg these certificates would usually detail the father's age, place of birth and occupation.

Apologies for jumping all over the place with my reply.
I'm convinced that your George Thomas
GREEN who married Mary
ROBB, abducted Jessie
GOUDIE and married her in Broken Hill where after George T's death in 1905 Jessie married again and died in 1921.
