Note>
     Ernest is the father of my second cousin's husband. There are interesting events and gaps in his life, and this is a quick summary of both.
     His birth entry gives his name as Ernest R and he was generally referred to as Ernest Roy, but sometimes known as Ralph. His son's death entry cites his father as Ernest Valentine R, but perhaps the second given name was an error by the informant (maybe the son?). The son was Ernest Valentine Ralph, known as Billy.
     He was born in Blayney in 1901, and his family remained there until at least 1909, when the youngest child ws born. At the age of 16, Ernest was in Sydney and charged with breaking, entering and stealing on Christmas Eve 1917 in the suburb of Penshurst. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 9 months gaol but, as a first offender, released (self and one surety in £10 each) on 12 months good behaviour bond.

     Ernest is the father of my second cousin's husband. There are interesting events and gaps in his life, and this is a quick summary of both.
     His birth entry gives his name as Ernest R and he was generally referred to as Ernest Roy, but sometimes as Ralph. His son's death entry (in 1966) cites his father as Ernest Valentine R, but perhaps the second given name was an error by the informant. The son was Ernest Valentine Ralph, known as Billy.
     Ernest was born in Blayney in 1901, and his family remained there until at least 1909, when the youngest child was born. They probably moved to Sydney between 1909 and 1917. Ernest was in Sydney late in 1917 when he was charged with breaking, entering and stealing on Christmas Eve in the suburb of Penshurst. In March 1918, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 9 months gaol but, as a first offender, released (self and one surety in £10 each) on 12 months good behaviour bond.
     On 3 Sep 1921 at age 20, he married Annie Rose HUNT in Hurstville. But warrants for his arrest for wife desertion were issued in Nov and Dec 1921. He and his wife said in later court hearings that they’d lived together for 5-6 months, but it appears to have been much less than that. His first daughter, Ivy Lillian, was born on 22 Feb 1922. A son, Douglas James, was born late in 1923, so there must have been some conjugal visits after Ernest’s desertion. Unless, of course, Douglas was fathered by someone else – birth certificate (which will be available late in 1923) could make that clear.
     Ernest was arrested early in 1923 for failing to pay family support and was gaoled until payment was made. A further warrant for failure to pay maintenance was issued early in 1924. He was again arrested in May 1927 and gaoled until payment was made.
     In April 1925, Ernest had married Gwendoline BAILEY (a week before her 16th birthday) in Grenfell and their first son, Ernest (known a Billy) was born 7 months later. Another son, Barney, was born in Feb 1927. Ernest’s bigamous marriage was discovered while he was in Bathurst Gaol (for failing to pay maintenance) and he was charged in Jun 1927, and tried in Cowra 2 months later.
     Ernest pleaded guilty and asked for leniency. However, he lied about his prior convictions and said that he’d written to his wife and, as she did not reply, he assumed she was dead – the judge did not believe him. Ernest said his first wife had applied for a divorce, and he would then marry his second wife. His 2 wives were present at the trial and gave evidence. He was sentenced to 12 months in gaol with hard labour.
     If Ernest and Gwendoline did get together again, it was not for long as she married Lawrence SAWYER on 7 Nov 1928 in Grenfell. ======
     to be confirmed Ernest’s first wife Annie had married Walter GOODWIN in 1926 (before Ernest’s trial). They stayed in the same area of Sydney (Riverwood at the time of her death). Walter died in 1971 and when Annie died in 1987, she had 11 children, 31 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.

A BIGAMIST SENTENCED TO TWELVE MONTHS IMPRISONMENT.
IN BATHURST GAOL WITH HARD LABOR.
     A young man named Ernest Roy Hines was on Tuesday, before his Honor, Judge Armstrong, charged with having on September 3, 1921, at Peakhurst, having gone through ceremony of marriage with Annie Rose Hunt, he did at Grenfell, on April 25, again go through the marriage ceremony with Gertrude May Bailey, whilst his wife was alive.
     Accused pleaded guilty and asked for leniency.
     In reply to his Honor's query as to whether he wished to say anything, he said: I have never been in gaol before. This is not a criminal act. My first wife has applied for a divorce and when it is granted I intend to right any wrong I have done. I have never been in trouble before.
     His Honor: There is a conviction against you for breaking and entering and stealing at Sydney Quarter Sessions. How can you say this is your first offence? Why tell lies?
     Accused (looking surprised and obviously ill at ease): I meant it is the first time I have been in gaol.
     His Honor: I suppose your wife is applying for a divorce on account of your conduct with this other woman?
     Accused: Yes.
     His Honor: Was the divorce mentioned at the other Court?
     Accused: No.
     His Honor: Where is she applying? Did she notify you?
     Accused: A Constable from Sydney told me she was applying for a divorce.
     His Honor: If your wife is applying for a divorce simply on account of your conduct in this matter it does not assist you. I will not pass sentence until 2 o'clock. I want to act in your favor if I can, but as you have already a sentence recorded against you, you can't be having them suspended every time!
     When the Court resumed at 2 p.m., accused said: Three years ago I wrote three letters to my wife and she did not answer them. Then again I wrote from Bathurst Gaol and got no reply. I did not know whether she was dead or alive.
     His Honor: You left your first wife with a girl of 5 and a boy of 3 to support.
     Accused: We only lived together for five months after our marriage.
     His Honor: She says six months.
     Accused: Yes. Five or six months.
     His Honor: I can't see anything mitigating in your conduct. Your record is not a good one.
     Accused: My last trouble was eight or nine years ago and I have not been in trouble since.
     His Honor: I say I cannot see any mitigating circumstances. This woman was deserted and a second child born after you left her. I'm not taking into account that you were in prison for failing to support your wife. I think your statement re thinking she might be dead is all bosh, and I hope I am not going too far in saying so. You are sentenced to twelve months in Bathurst Gaol with hard labor.

Guilty of Bigamy.— Ernest Roy Hines, a young man, was charged at the Cowra Quarter Session with bigamy. His defence was that he did not know whether his first wife was alive, as she had not answered the letters he had written to her. Judge Armstrong sentenced Hines to 12 months' imprisonment.

Bigamist Sentenced
AT COWRA SESSIONS.
     Quarter Sessions opened in Cowra on Tuesday, before His Honor, Judge Armstrong. Only one criminal case was listed, and as the accused has signified his intention of pleading, the jurors were notified their attendance would not be required.
     Ernest Roy Hines, a young man, was charged that having on September 3, 1921, gone through the ceremony of marriage at Peakhurst, he did at Grenfell, on April 23, 1923, again go through the marriage ceremony with a young woman whilst his wife was alive.
     Accused pleaded guilty from the dock and asked to be dealt with leniently.
     His Honor: Do you want to say anything?
     Accused: This is my first offence; and my first wife has applied for a divorce, and when it is granted I intend to go through the marriage ceremony with my second wife.
     His Honor (reading a document): Have you ever been in trouble before?
     Accused: No, Your Honor.
     His Honor: I notice a man named Ernest Roy Hines was found guilty for breaking, entering and stealing in Sydney. Is that person identical with you ?
     Accused (looking surprised) : Yes.
     His Honor: Why did you tell me a lie?
     Accused: I meant I was never in gaol before.
     His Honor: I take it that your first wife is applying for a divorce on account of your unfaithful conduct with the second woman?
     Accused: Yes.
     His Honor: Did your first wife notify you she was seeking a divorce?
     Accused: No. I heard from a policeman from Sydney.
     His Honor: I won't pass sentence till 2 o'clock. I want to do something in your favor if I can, but as you were found guilty of stealing, I can't see how I can help you. You can't get your sentences reduced every time, you know.
ONE YEAR'S HARD LABOR.
     When the court resumed at 2 o'clock His Honor again asked Hines if he had anything to say.
     Hines: I would like to say some years ago I wrote two letters to my wife and never got an answer. I also wrote her one letter while I was in gaol and she never replied. I did not know if she got the letters or not, and I didn't know if she was alive or dead when I married the second time.
     His Honor: You married your second wife leaving the first one with two children to support.
     Hines: There was only one child when I left her. We only lived together for five months after our marriage.
     His Honor: I don't see anything mitigating in your explanation. Your record is not a good one.
     Hines: My last trouble was 8 or 9 years ago; I have never been in trouble since.
Judge: "All Bosh."
     His Honor: I cannot see any mitigating circumstances. This woman has been deserted and a second child born to her after you left her. I'm not taking seriously into account what you say about thinking your first wife was dead. If I am not going too far I class that kind of talk as all bosh.
     His Honor then sentenced Hines to one years's hard labor in Bathurst gaol.

JUDGE ARMSTRONG DOES NOT BELIEVE HIM.
     To-day a young man named Ernest Roy Hines pleaded guilty before his Honor, Judge Armstrong, to having at Grenfell on May 25th, 1925, gone through the ceremony of marriage with Gertrude May Bailey, while his wife, Annie Hunt, to whom he was married on 3rd September, 1921, at Peakhurst, was still alive.
     Accused in a statement, said he believed his wife to have been dead at the time of the offence.
     It was stated there were two children by the first marriage, one 5 and the other 3.
     Accused was sentenced to 12 months in Bathurst Gaol with hard labor.
     Further details of the case will appear in Friday's "Free Press."
8. Article in Cowra Free Press, 12 Aug 1927, page 3:
A BIGAMIST SENTENCED TO TWELVE MONTHS IMPRISONMENT.
IN BATHURST GAOL WITH HARD LABOR.
     A young man named Ernest Roy Hines was on Tuesday, before his Honor, Judge Armstrong, charged with having on September 3, 1921, at Peakhurst, having gone through ceremony of marriage with Annie Rose Hunt, he did at Grenfell, on April 25, again go through the marriage ceremony with Gertrude May Bailey, whilst his wife was alive.
     Accused pleaded guilty and asked for leniency.
     In reply to his Honor's query as to whether he wished to say anything, he said: I have never been in gaol before. This is not a criminal act. My first wife has applied for a divorce and when it is granted I intend to right any wrong I have done. I have never been in trouble before.
     His Honor: There is a conviction against you for breaking and entering and stealing at Sydney Quarter Sessions. How can you say this is your first offence? Why tell lies?
     Accused (looking surprised and obviously ill at ease): I meant it is the first time I have been in gaol.
     His Honor: I suppose your wife is applying for a divorce on account of your conduct with this other woman?
     Accused: Yes.
     His Honor: Was the divorce mentioned at the other Court?
     Accused: No.
     His Honor: Where is she applying? Did she notify you?
     Accused: A Constable from Sydney told me she was applying for a divorce.
     His Honor: If your wife is applying for a divorce simply on account of your conduct in this matter it does not assist you. I will not pass sentence until 2 o'clock. I want to act in your favor if I can, but as you have already a sentence recorded against you, you can't be having them suspended every time!
     When the Court resumed at 2 p.m., accused said: Three years ago I wrote three letters to my wife and she did not answer them. Then again I wrote from Bathurst Gaol and got no reply. I did not know whether she was dead or alive.
     His Honor: You left your first wife with a girl of 5 and a boy of 3 to support.
     Accused: We only lived together for five months after our marriage.
     His Honor: She says six months.
     Accused: Yes. Five or six months.
     His Honor: I can't see anything mitigating in your conduct. Your record is not a good one.
     Accused: My last trouble was eight or nine years ago and I have not been in trouble since.
     His Honor: I say I cannot see any mitigating circumstances. This woman was deserted and a second child born after you left her. I'm not taking into account that you were in prison for failing to support your wife. I think your statement re thinking she might be dead is all bosh, and I hope I am not going too far in saying so. You are sentenced to twelve months in Bathurst Gaol with hard labor.
9. Article in Newcastle Sun, 12 Aug 1927, page 16:
Guilty of Bigamy.— Ernest Roy Hines, a young man, was charged at the Cowra Quarter Session with bigamy. His defence was that he did not know whether his first wife was alive, as she had not answered the letters he had written to her. Judge Armstrong sentenced Hines to 12 months' imprisonment.
10. Article in Carcoar Chronicle, 12 Aug 1927, page 1:
Bigamist Sentenced
AT COWRA SESSIONS.
     Quarter Sessions opened in Cowra on Tuesday, before His Honor, Judge Armstrong. Only one criminal case was listed, and as the accused has signified his intention of pleading, the jurors were notified their attendance would not be required.
     Ernest Roy Hines, a young man, was charged that having on September 3, 1921, gone through the ceremony of marriage at Peakhurst, he did at Grenfell, on April 23, 1923, again go through the marriage ceremony with a young woman whilst his wife was alive.
     Accused pleaded guilty from the dock and asked to be dealt with leniently.
     His Honor: Do you want to say anything?
     Accused: This is my first offence; and my first wife has applied for a divorce, and when it is granted I intend to go through the marriage ceremony with my second wife.
     His Honor (reading a document): Have you ever been in trouble before?
     Accused: No, Your Honor.
     His Honor: I notice a man named Ernest Roy Hines was found guilty for breaking, entering and stealing in Sydney. Is that person identical with you ?
     Accused (looking surprised) : Yes.
     His Honor: Why did you tell me a lie?
     Accused: I meant I was never in gaol before.
     His Honor: I take it that your first wife is applying for a divorce on account of your unfaithful conduct with the second woman?
     Accused: Yes.
     His Honor: Did your first wife notify you she was seeking a divorce?
     Accused: No. I heard from a policeman from Sydney.
     His Honor: I won't pass sentence till 2 o'clock. I want to do something in your favor if I can, but as you were found guilty of stealing, I can't see how I can help you. You can't get your sentences reduced every time, you know.
ONE YEAR'S HARD LABOR.
     When the court resumed at 2 o'clock His Honor again asked Hines if he had anything to say.
     Hines: I would like to say some years ago I wrote two letters to my wife and never got an answer. I also wrote her one letter while I was in gaol and she never replied. I did not know if she got the letters or not, and I didn't know if she was alive or dead when I married the second time.
     His Honor: You married your second wife leaving the first one with two children to support.
     Hines: There was only one child when I left her. We only lived together for five months after our marriage.
     His Honor: I don't see anything mitigating in your explanation. Your record is not a good one.
     Hines: My last trouble was 8 or 9 years ago; I have never been in trouble since.
Judge: "All Bosh."
     His Honor: I cannot see any mitigating circumstances. This woman has been deserted and a second child born to her after you left her. I'm not taking seriously into account what you say about thinking your first wife was dead. If I am not going too far I class that kind of talk as all bosh.
     His Honor then sentenced Hines to one years's hard labor in Bathurst gaol.
