South Australian Marriage HALLS DRYSTER 1883

[cando]

Walter Edward Halls father's name is correct i.e. James.  Mother's name Sarah Ann(e) .   Her surname changed on official documents to Hearn(e).     The Birth Index information for Walter would appear to be correct  .   I have lots of information on this family from 1797.       I noticed one posting said that Walter Edward Halls was a widower when he married Mary Alice Dyster . I will look into this further.

I posted the information.  Information on marriage certificates only as accurate as given by the participants.

From my resource
HALLS Walter Edward  25 years  Status Widower  Father James HALLS
DYSTER Mary Alice  23 years  Status Single  Father Thomas DYSTER
7 Apr 1883
At the Baptist Manse, Terowie     Bur 135/25

Yes, we know that this marriage certificate states he is a widower.

But he continues to enter into bigamist marriages so his propensity for lying to women, their families and the clergy was not uncommon.

Following other documents, can in fact verify whether statements on one document is true or untrue. Or the succession of documents may also help too.

It appears he is related to the other tree. If you could post here it would be great, you just need to make 3 posts to send and receive PM's.

Presently working on leads.    Awaiting replies from various sources.   Hopefully will receive some information soon.

One of the sources is the brother-in-law of the person I am helping. But by the time they worked it out the B-I-L has gone on holidays. So I was asked to get in touch with you again.
He is really excited to have found so much information about Walter Edward Halls.

Thank you for replying also for the information on the forum.  I was only recently aware of the situation which was disconcerting .  A researcher in Australia I asked for help sent me information.  Then I saw your posting on the forum and thought I should give as much information as I could as this will benefit those researching the marriages.  I am going to London next week to visit some major research facilities.  Hopefully, I will get some more information which I will pass on.
