Hi Mary,

In the 1889 Brisbane warrant William Titley is last seen in Melbourne. I've found an 1890 Departure from Melbourne to Western Australia for William Bell. William Bell married Louisa Florence Riley in Western Australia in March 1891, His death in WA is registered as William Titley 1933.
Hi Mary,
Thanks for the info.

Its quite possible that William was not the biological father of James Titley, and was in WA at the time, married as William Bell.

Obviously the one William Titley could not be simultaneously fathering children in WA & in Queensland from 1898 - 1909 & onwards.

Also, in 1896 in Queensland, Mary Ann Titley married John Emmet. I don't know how that worked
- whether she would be regarded as a widow if her William Titley did not show up again,
or whether there was a divorce & her William Titley is the one who remarried in Queensland in 1898.

So the next part of the puzzle is to find out whether there were two different William Titleys in Queensland, one of whom left Queensland permanently in 1858/59, or whether there was one William Titley, who divorced & remarried.
