James Bevan FLY and Marie Catherine Elizabeth PAHL.
Marriage details not located.
James died 1938 in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, aged 69 years.
Parents named as John FLY and Ann KEYS.
James death was recorded under LANCASTER.
If this was not a clerical error he may have changed his name, but I'm going with the clerical error.
See comment below from Phil1944 regarding James name change.

One is never sure without the actual certificates to study and I was reading between the lines of the indexes. When Jame's death was recorded under LANCASTER and his father was named as FLY I knew something was wrong.
We now know it was not a clerical error.
The change of name also explains why I lost the four children in the records.
I always like feed back when it comes to name changes.
Thanks again.
I'm commenting on the suggestion that James Bevan Fly's death being recorded under Lancaster was probably a clerical error.
It's not.
My name is Phillip John Lancaster and my father was Norman Pahl Lancaster, recorded as the third child of James Bevan and Marie Pahl Fly.
My father was estranged from his family and I have been totally unaware of the Fly family connection until stumbling across this site.
Mt father's name is shown on his marriage certificate as Norman Pahl Lancaster, although it now appears that he was born as Norman Pahl Fly. Clearly his father James Bevan changed the family name at some point.
I'd love to know why.
My father died in 1962 aged 58 and my mother Amy Marguerite Lancaster (nee Evans) in 2004 aged 102.
