Is it this one?

MALONE, LILIAN  ROSA MAUREEN    ATKINS 
GRO Reference: 1919  M Quarter in WATFORD  Volume 03A  Page 1038

Marriages Jun 1918   (>99%)
Atkins    Florence    Malone    Watford    3a   1491    
Malone    Daniel J    Atkins    Watford    3a   1491

So..Florence wasn’t a spinster in 1928?

Where are Florence & Lilian Malone/Atkins/Corbett in 1921?
I can see Daniel went back to Australia. Was Florence supposed to follow him?

They went out to Australia as Florence and "Lily" return from Sydney in March 1922 - onward address c/o Mrs Mack, Fernley Cottage, Croxley Green [Added - think this is Florence's mother. She can be found as stepdaughter in a Mack household in 1901. Indexed as Hack on Ancestry]

Can't find an outward journey, but maybe why they can't be found on 1921?

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Florence's mother was Rose Alice Hack, formerly Atkins, nee Harding - married to Arthur as a widow in 1900.

The Hacks are still in Croxley Green in 1939 - with a very interesting young man with them

[Mabel Bagshawe]

What's interesting is that Florence is clearly pregnant with James Arthur when she comes back from Australia and yet his birth is  registered as a Corbett not a Malone

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Given his place of birth on his immigration reord, I wonder if this is William's navy record

William James Corbett
Birth    1 Sep 1883, Worcester
[Ancestry index says Worcester Is, Exmouth but the immge reads Worcester, and underneath TS Exmouth, as in Training Ship - another record can be found for him on that ship]
First Service Date    16 May 1899
First Ship Served On    Impregnable
Last Service Date    17 Feb 1919
Last Ship Served On    Discoverer
Service Number    204538

he appears to have left and joined the reserves in 1913, then went back in the next year at the start of hostilites, being demobbed in 1919

[mckha489]

Two dates of birth

Navy record 1 September 1883
WW2 US draft card 1 June 1883

[Mabel Bagshawe]

His  Training Ship Exmouth record suggests his year of birth is 1885.

Once again, thank you everyone for these amazing revelations. That James Arthur was probably a Malone is quite remarkable and moves the goalposts somewhat. Yes we thought Florence could not have been a spinster at time of her marriage in 1928 so her connection with Daniel came as an eye opener. Thank you for details of William James Corbett's naval record which I have now managed to find on ancestry with your help. Still can't find him being born in Worcester abt. 1883 or 1885, or on a census prior to his naval days.
