I am still chasing my James Arthur Williams.

I know he married Elizabeth Amelia Palin on 12 May 1885 in Moonta SA.

I do not have a birth date for him, but his wife lists him as 28 in her deserting wife claim in the 1889 Police Gazette. Not sure if she means that he was 28 in 1889, or 28 when he deserted in 1885.

His daughter, Elizabeth Annie was born on 5 Jan 1886 in Maitland SA.

He is the key to one whole strand of my tree, and I would love to crack the mystery, and SA records are not digitally accessible.

Any clues, hints, directions, suggestions?

Many thanks Wivenhoe . Yes, that is the description from the Police Gazette, and yes, Annie Elizabeth is listed as his child.

I know they got married at the Wesleyan Parsonage in Moonta, and that the registration number is 143/701.
