Although Ethels birth is listed as Bell St, its most likely Beryl St as thats where her parents lived and there is no Bell St listed in Broken Hill.
Ethel was aged 23 at the time of her wedding.
During WW1 she worked in Adelaide in several department stores including Cravens, Birkes and Moores in the shoe department.

Ethel married Albert ANDREASSEN [image] son of Andreas Severin KRISTIANSEN and Anne Margarete JENSEN on 24 Jun 1920 in Baptist Mance, Port Pirie, South Australia. Albert was born on 6 Jan 1889 in Hamarøy Norway. He died on 27 Dec 1950 in Broken Hill. He was buried in Broken Hill Cemetery, NSW.

Albert was aged 31 at the time of his marriage and 61 at his death.
He changed his name to Albert Christiansen Moe, apparently as it was thought the name would be easier for people to say or spell when he came to Australia and due to the patronymic naming in Norway at the time. There is a farm in Norway called Moen Østre, Tysnes in Hamerøy Nordland where his family where shown to have lived in the 1900 census so it is likely that this was why the Moe surname was chosen.
Occupation on daughter Mary's birth certificate was Miner.
