Good afternoon
I am trying to find details of the marriage of Lionel Atkinson to Jane L (Laura?) Lyon which took place in 1911 St Peters district of Sydney.
I think he could possibly be the son of Arthur James Atkinson and was bn 1889, Weeton, Yorkshire.
I have Lionel in England up to the 1901 census and have found a likely emigration in 1910 on the SS Wilcannia, London to Sydney.
Any confirmation that this is "my" Lionel would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Bob

Edited as incorrect mother listed for a Lionel death.
Added: Death - 24788/1986 ATKINSON Jane Lawrence parents JAMES and MARGARET
ATKINSON Jane Lawrence Death notice 16-10-1986 Death 99 late of Cammeray Sydney Morning Herald 18-10-1986
A daughter: 42305/1914 ATKINSON Margaret W parents LIONEL and JANE L MOSMAN
This is the death I deleted, but given that they had a daughter Margaret, I wonder if it is just incorrect information provided at time of death. It’s the only Lionel death that comes up in search for me:
3903/1975 ATKINSON LIONEL parents ARTHUR and MARGARET
This notice may be helpful in confirming the above death:
ATKINSON Lionel (Peter) Death notice 4-2-1975 Death late of Newport Sydney Morning Herald 8-2-1975
Son’s death: 109425/1986 ATKINSON James parents LIONEL and JANE LAURENCE
Possible death of daughter: 8192/1983 CONWAY Margaret Winifred Mary parents LIONEL and JANE
Her engagement notice, 1st column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17465364
Marriage: 132/1939 CONWAY Richard Mervyn to ATKINSON Margaret Winifred Mary SYDNEY

Some electoral roll entries. Were they living apart or did Lionel just not register to vote? I'm assuming this is the right person.
(All entries for Jane give the occupation as home duties except 1932)
1930
Jane Lawrence ATKINSON, home duties, Farm 449, Leeton NSW - no other Atkinson listed. Leeton is a country town some 550k from Sydney
1932
Jane Lawrence ATKINSON, matron, Dormitory, Leeton - only one other Atkinson, living at Sycamore St, Leeton at the time.
1932, 1933
Jane again at 61 Seventh Ave, Campsie, hd - (Sydney suburb) - no other Atkinson here. From this entry onward Jane is now spelling Jane Laurence ATKINSON
1934
Jane and Lionel (a clerk) at Penkivil St Bondi
1936, 1937
Jane and Margaret Winifred Mary ATKINSON (stenographer) at 46 Beach Rd, Edgecliff. Lionel not listed in this suburb
1943, 1949, 1954, 1958
Jane at 27 Beach RD Edgecliffe - no Lionel listed
1963
Jane - 37 New Beach Rd
1963 to 1980 (extent of my access)
Jane - 2 Cowdroy St, Cammeray

Then if that plaque is correct, it isn’t him:
ATKINSON, LIONEL mmn GILL
GRO Reference: 1889 J Quarter in WETHERBY Volume 09A Page 121
Lionel and Jane were in Leeton in 1925, 2nd last column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article155880323
Added: just realised that the plaque has him born in April 1890, and his birth is registered June quarter 1889, so technically only a year out. A death notice would be useful, and the probate packet may show if it’s him. He is on the North Shore, as are other family members.

ATKINSON, Lionel (Peter) death 04Feb1975, late of Newport, SMH 8thFeb1975
Unfortunately SMH Page 116 is missing online at https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au and that edition is also missing online at https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=lL5f5cZgq8MC&hl=en
Does anyone have other access to page 116 of that SMH edition?
