Hy Vear, who died in 1918 in Victoria, parents unknown, is said to have been married to 'Lorrie Madill'. I have not seen the death certificate, this information comes from another researcher. (Vear is an interesting man, but far removed from my own areas of family research) The index entry to Vear's death can be viewed on Victorian BDM. It seems strangely congruent with your entry: Martha MADILLL: Born: 1871 Duneed, Victoria. Died: 1945 Coburg, Victoria. Age: 74 years. Married: unknown VEAR. I know something of Henry Vear, the probable subject of that death registration. He was also known as John Alfred Jackson, and the Madill marriage, was probably bigamous. I don't want to increase the store of misinformation. But perhaps we can discuss this coincidence.

Thank you for your comment Munday.

Martha VEAR nee MADILL died 1945 in Coburg aged 74 years but I never located a marriage or any children for her.

Henry VEAR died 1918 in Melbourne West aged 58 years.
Buried: Coburg Pine Lodge Cemetery.
Area: Church of England.
Section: C.
Grave number: 361.
Service date: 22 November 1948.

Buried in the same grave with Henry VEAR we have
Louie Martha VEAR.
Service date: 29 March 1945.

Only one Martha VEAR nee MADILL died in 1945 and I expect this Louie Martha VEAR will be her, but have no idea where the name Louie (or Lorrie) came from and needs more research.

Thank you Tonkin. My interest is in Henry Vear. It's not a common name. I believe this is John Albert Jackson, a phrenologist who practiced as such between 1890 and 1915 or so, with a succession of women palmists, under the title 'Professor Vear'. Also known as Professor Henri or Henry Vear. Trove has copious references, mainly in his advertisements, though he made the news columns occasionally. Prof Vear established practices or practised in Melbourne, Broken Hill, Queensland, New Zealand and, finally, in South Australia where he advertised with 'Mrs Vear' a palmist. This could be Louie Vear. Jackson married (1892) Susan Jane Reynolds. (This and the following refs are Victorian BDM registrations - I have some but not all the various certificates) They had four children. But there was another child, born before they married. Clara Evylen Vear was born (1891) is registered as the child of Henri Vear and Susan Clara Jane Vear (nee Reynolds). The remaining four, born in wedlock, are all listed as the children of John and Susan Jackson (nee Reynolds). My interest in this lot arises from memories of my great Aunt Vera (Munday), who married (1918) a man then known as Roland Victor Noel Vere (born 1897). Roland was the fourth of the Jackson/Reynolds children and his birth was registered under the surname RVN Jackson. He subsequently adopted the surname Vere. After his marriage Vera added an extra touch of distinction and became Vera De Vere. She survived Roland and I assume that she was responsible for the registration of his death in 1965 as Rowland Victor Noel De Vere, the son of John Henri De Vere and Clara Jane De Vere (nee Reynolds).
If your interest is primarily in the Madills, this may be of no more than passing interest except, perhaps, for the possibility that Louie was a practising palmist.

Clarification: Jackson/Vear and his wife, Susan Reynolds, seem to have separated some time after the birth of their last child. Though Martha/Louie Madill called herself 'Mrs Vear' there seems to be no evidence of a lawful marriage between them.
