I don’t think that the step-daughter is the Lily he married. Did he marry a relative?

1961 15034 HAMS Lily Jane parents JOHNSTON Joseph and Isabella Louisa (Ackland), aged 82, death: Macleod birth:Strathbogie.

Lily Jane Hams
Springvale Botanical Cemetery, 18-8-1961

4898 1915 HAMS Sidney Ackland parents Hams Jno Wickens and Jane (Ackland) death: Emerald,
aged 40.

Buried:

Emerald Cemetery plot 108473

Rex Vernon Johnston HAMS birth 28-3-1908 death 1993 85
Florence Ellen HAMS birth 9-12-1909 death 1997 aged 87

Rex and Florence, husband and wife.

I can see the marriages for the 4 children of Sydney and Lillian, but no marriage for Mona.
