William Titley alias William Bell

Posted: 11 Jul 2015 11:45AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Bell Titley
I'm trying to find the birth details of my great-grandfather. He married my great-grandmother Louisa Florence Riley in Fremantle in 1891, using the name William Bell. Various Bell family documents staet he was born in Ballarat aorund 1860, father George, mother Elizabeth.
According to my grandmother (born Grace Florence Bell):- Louisa left William Bell in the 1920s, because he had been cited as co-respondent in a divorce case (I found a record - Harp vs Harp). He ended up in the old mens home (Sunset) and died there in 1933. After he died, the family discovered paperwork that showed his name to be William Titley, and that he had abandoned a wife & children in Victoria before coming to WA, and so the marriage to Louisa was bigamous.
I have a death certificate for William Titley, 1933. But I have not been able to find any details of parents, previous marriage etc.
I would be grateful for any leads that would help to solve this longstanding family mystery.
