Not really.  I have a number of SA resource.  SA Marriage records only extend to 1938.

It's possible that Wm was interred at the Anglican North Road cemetery and their records are not online.  I'll have a look for other avenues.

This is possibly his wife's death notice in the Advertiser.

ROBERTSON    Elsie Alberta   1973

Perhaps contact the Ask a Librarian service at the State Library of South Australia for a copy of the notice.

If this is Elsie....the cremated remains have been removed and yet Wm's lease doesn't expire until 2026.
