Research Notes
It is unclear whether Benjamin and Elva divorced before he married Bertha. I have been unable to find any divorce files on Archway, nor a death for Elva Parsons. However I have found articles in PapersPast relating to separation and maintenance between the two.

There is a family tree on Ancestry that has Elva remarrying in 1931 but if this is correct then the marriage was registered between Elva Johnson and her new husband.
Considering the times it was an amazing feat to bury Benjamin the day after his death in Wellington.
