It is best to be cautious in our forum posts as these are 'published' and so are available in open forum without the need for anyone to log on or sign in. 

Whether an alias or a number of alias or no alias ... these names are indentifying a person resident in Australia who may  well still be living, and thus have a lawful expectation to privacy of the individual.     Different jurisdictions have different interpretations of those expectations, but most do consider it is a no no to publish sensitive identifying details.

Ok, sound advice as she turned out to be quite easy to identify despite the aliases.

Matthew and Kandi, you need to remove her name.

We used PMs to relay information on wives.

There is no evidence that the wife mentioned in the article is one of those on his RAN record. There is no evidence that his wives are deceased.

think I removed the names correctly jamjar

As mentioned, the couple were living in Tasmania at 281 Charles street Launceston and he was Roy Robert WALTERS while she was  Mary ELizabeth DODD.
They were there from 1943 to 1949 together. Prior to that seem to be in NSW as listed

The Civil Construction Corps record for Roy Robert WALTERS which has been mentioned before, lists his address as 24 Bridport Street Albert Park (Melbourne)
He has a wife and three dependent children and his wife is at the Charles Street Address in Launceston.

I am thinking the marriage was scattered through with periods of separation.

Good work in getting Julie sorted 

I'm trying to track the truck driver ( per E Roll 1954) who was possibly the same person who, as  boy in 1946 was hit by a car.

I was told that he was born in Sydney but later found out that he was born in port Melbourne along with his twin brother John Moris Dodd and Roy Robert Dodd

Kandi, I think it is safe to dismiss this of twins etc.story as in accurate.

The births to Edward and Charlotte WALTERS have been listed in reply #33 and there were not others by the DODD names.

So it appears your great grandfather made at least two marriages and also there is the issue of Eileen who calls herself Mrs Walters, his wife, in 1923 and lives in Freshwater NSW.

Interesting he had said he intended to bring his English wife Phyllis Queenie to Australia in 1922, but was "married" to another by 1923 without any located appearance from Phyllis.

I hope I have this right

I am guessing your grandfather is still with us.

He is still living.

As is Kandi’s grandfather.

also there is the issue of Eileen who calls herself Mrs Walters, his wife, in 1923 and lives in Freshwater NSW.

Wasn’t it Freshwater QLD #19? I think Eileen was a relative.

I can’t see any reference to Phyllis Queenie other than the marriage in 1918. I can’t see anything on Family Search, FreeBMD of the NET. Wonder what became of her.

I took it to be Freshwater NSW as it was in the NSW Police Gazette and there is an Evans street there.

I also cannot find anymore on Phyllis Queenie.  Think she must show as Phyllis or Queenie, but not both. on any censuses, or registers or other births, marriages, or deaths.
