Damn it. Didn't expect that but oh well.

I suspect then that you have this.

I've been using a certain method to find the men... I think I'll try a different one for once.

541 Frank [Norman Case] Allard, Married Ellen Black on May 5th, 1917 [?]
2030 [turned N279686] Darcy Cecil Baker, Married Edith Mary Ash on February 15th, 1917
560 Gilbert Oliver Barnard, Married Emily Searle on December 5th, 1917
1881 Andrew Bell, Married Daisy Victoria Pattendon on June 18th, 1917
3468 Allan Richard Blencowe, Married Dorothy Mabel Ward in July 1917
5970 George Augustus Bliss, Married Beatrice Rosina Alice Webb on December 22nd, 1917

I'm hoping that one of them is new.. but at this rate, probably not.

Zidane.

Thanks yet again Zidane

Five of the above list are new to me :thumbsup:

Just for the record, in case anybody takes an interest in the following soldier from the above list: 3297 Arthur William Drewett, Married Florence Phillimore in Gloucestershire, in January 1916 - KiA August 24th, 1916 at Fleurbaix

It seems he never actually married...

Florence Louisa PHILLIMORE married Arthur Sidney DREWITT on the 23/1/1916 Gloucestershire – a 20 yr old Miller, resident in Wick, son of Thomas

Arthur William DREWETT (3297) was a 21 yr old Printer in 1915 - he joined his battalion in Egypt on the 21/1/1916, and was the son of Arthur Albert & Stella

Thank you once more Zidane - WILKINSON 2222 is new to the database.

In regard to LENNY - I have the notation: died? bigamy? - obviously didn't find out what occurred in regard to the first wife...

Steve - I do have her in the database - but not when they actually married - I think that was the unknown...

Yes I first missed her name in the report on his accident, as he had gone to see her before they were married.

As she uses her maiden name.

So they must have married some time around that date and before he was RTA

Thanks Zidane - I do actually have a large file of research on A.E.B. Beresford, which was attached to his profile on the defunct Discovering Anzacs website - will have to get around to attaching it to the VWMA...
