David Miller Dawson

[dunscore]

I am researching my Dawson side of the family and have come across a discrepancy as to whom David Miller married.  David was the son of Thomas and Alison (nee Miller) Dawson, born in South Australia in 1878, the 6th of nine children. I believe he died in Sydney in 1936. The discrepancy is, did he marry Florence Maitland Wilson or Maitland Florence Burgess, possibly in Scots Church, Melbourne in 1909?
I found a son, Thomas James Dawson who was born in 1910 in Adelaide. I have no idea whether there were other children from the marriage, or if indeed, Thomas was David's child. 
Any information on David's marriage and birth and death details of his wife, would be very much appreciated.  I believe his wife could have been born in Victoria.

Cheers,
Dunscore

Punch (Melbourne)   20 May 1909

The marriage of Mr. David Miller DAWSON, of South Terrace, Adelaide, and Miss Maitland
Wilson BURGESS, will be celebrated on the 17th June, at Scots' Church, Collins-street, Melbourne,
by the Rev. Dr. Marshall.

I suspect that it is the same woman, events in her life, or the lives of her parents, give her the use of these two family names.

The marriage certificate would be useful to identify her origins.
