From Trove, as published in the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners' Advocate on 17 May 1935: "DESERTION. Marjorie Joyce Roberts (formerly Davis), of Darby-street, Newcastle, sought a dissolution of her marriage with Enos Roberts, on the ground of desertion. Mr. P. H. Monkley, appeared for the petitioner. The parties were married on December 15, 1928, at Newcastle, according to the rites of the Church of England. There was one child. The issues were found in favour of the petitioner." I haven't found Enos ROBERTS' marriage to Mavis Beryl, but she appeared with him on electoral rolls between 1935 and 1937, as follows: Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980 (ancestry.com) 1935 - at 205 Norton Street, Ashfield, Parkes, NSW - Enos William ROBERTS (milk carter), Mavis Beryl ROBERTS (home duties) 1936 - at 23 Cross Street, Strathfield, Parkes, NSW - William Enos ROBERTS (heaterman), Mavis Beryl ROBERTS (home duties) 1937 - at 17 Yandarlo Street, Enfield, Parkes, NSW - William Enos ROBERTS (labourer), Mavis Beryl ROBERTS (home duties) It appears that Mavis Beryl died in 1942 - the following appeared (per Trove) in the Sydney Morning Herald on 3 June 1942: "ROBERTS. - The Relatives and Friends of Mr. WILLIAM ENOS ROBERTS, Mr. H.

Sullivan petitioned for a divorce from Olive Jean Isabel Sullivan (formerly Warren), of Roscoe Street, Bondi, on the ground of her adultery with William Enos Roberts, also of Roscoe Street, Bondl. On the first occasion, he added, he was visited by his wife and the co-respondent, and on the second occasion by his wife and daughter. Sullivan said his wife told him that Roberts had been boarding at their home in Laman Street while he was away in the forces. He and his wife argued about Roberts. His wife and Roberts left the house in 1945. Inquiry agent Donald Rees described how he saw Mrs. SuJHvan and the co-respondent together in a flat in Sydney. Both confessed to having committed adultery. Roberts, asked to write a confession of adultery. said: "That's O.K. by me. I love her." Mr. G. W. McDonald appeared for petitioner."
