You were never able to re-marry if your spouse was transported...unless they were known to be dead or had not been heard of for long enough for there to be a legal presumption of death, which means a court order and expense (think Richey Edwards)

However, plenty married bigamously in those circumstances or, as Marg suggests here, just didn't bother.

The two Robert Dawes deaths in NSW have Robert and Richard as fathers. The Richard one has Jane as his mother. The other has no mother.

Thanks Libby. He perhaps moved away from NSW then.

Blow!!!!

Just found a death for Robert Dawe, son of William and Elizabeth in Qld, but it's 1918.

Sorry I haven't looked at this before Marg. I have been sleuthing my OH's O'Connor's.
I'll have a look and see if I can make any suggestions that are only available in NSW. Julie
Oh I'd better have something to eat first. I will return. Julie

Been away for a couple of days so only just seen that Libby and Julie are still digging at this.

He'd have been a very old man if he died in 1918, lol

Re posts #21 and #23 above.

Somewhere I have, or I have certainly seen, a church marriage certificate where the bride is remarried "with the permission of the Arch bishop, her previous husband having been sent beyond the seas for life".
