Only the death printout could tell you that, but I wonder if one has been added later, with the name of the other party, and it has gone to the High Court?  Just my speculation.

Donald and the other person mentioned are both at :

ADDED:  Donalds Will does refer to Audrey as the former wife.

Part quote from reply #22:

Yes I noted that too, KHP. She may have been 'former wife' twice??

Bit of a curly one, I still think only one marriage, going by the Electoral Rolls, otherwise it was a very brief marriage inbetween the E/R's.  But I have been wrong before. :D

I went looking for information on this family member and came up with zilch:

1908/1324   Gilbertson   Jeanne   Florence   William Morley

However a bit more digging.....

https://www.geni.com/people/Joy-Bridger/6000000014143236235

Death:

1994/45251   Bridger   Joy   4 December 1908**

Marriage:

1935/2291   Joy   Gilbertson   Eric Beaumont   Bridger


Marriage notice [1935]……

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19350726.2.2.2?end_date=31-12-1935&phrase=2&query=eric+beaumont&snippet=true&start_date=01-01-1934

**Actual date of birth was 4.12.1907. So just to confuse us, a different Christian name and incorrect year of birth.
