  • Notes 
    • When Ernest left Adelaide to move to South Africa with Elizabeth there was no record of a later marriage to Elizabeth and no divorce record for Adelaide.

      However, as there is no evidence that Ernest and Adelaide were actually divorced, there shouldn't be a marriage entry. [22]
