Thank you sahara.
Don't know how I missed Lillie's second marriage. It must have been a shock when she found out John was still married, and I expect Fanny was surprised as well.

Lillie Hettie Pearce later married a John Allen 18 Nov 1933 in North Adelaide, SA. He was later accused of bigamy, as he was married in 1905 to a Fanny Elizabeth Robinson, and was still married to her in 1933.
