Searching for details of marriage between Ronald Johnston/Johnson to Ruby/Robina/Rubina Elizabeth Green in Western Australia most likely between Dec.1948 & March 1949.
Ronald was born in Scotland & would have been abt 41years old .
Ruby? was possibly born in South Africa & would have been abt 36 years old.
Any help would be appreciated. John. :-S

GREEN Fred 25y ROSIE 18 Aug 1920 19/5/7

A Fred Green served in the army for NZ in WWI (see Archway).

...

and a Fred GREEN died in Perth in 1949...but his wife was 'the late Elizabeth Green' & he was 83!!
