No sign of his wife when he returned to 2 Jeffreys place, Kentish Town for a 3 month visit in August 1955 (returned 1/11/1955) he was a farmer, travelling alone.

Did they travel out together or marry in australia do you think?

I searched on marriage Cecil Dwight between 1931 and 1937. There was one result.

You have to pay to proceed. :-)

To Cynthia and all the helpers,
A lot of the information posted I already have, but the post from Alemap could prove a big help I will contact online .justice.vic.gov and hope that that could be the correct marriage. Thank you all for your response.
Regards Eddie :-)
