[Joseph Bolitho Johns, Convict "Pyreness" 1853 [Bushranger Moondyne Joe] Joseph Bolitho Johns, Convict "Pyreness" 1853 [Bushranger Moondyne Joe]] is on Geni with 2 wives

1) Harriet Jones

Joseph JONES married Harriet GILES in 1868 York

2) Louisa Frances Elizabeth Hearn - Johns

Joseph Bolitho JONES married Louisa Frances Elizabeth HEARN in 1879 Fremantle

This document is the only source that has Joseph JONES being the same person as Joseph Bolitho JONES - https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000150158124861

I think that Harriet married a different Joseph JONES

The Western Australian Birth records list the following children for Joseph JONES and Harriet GILES (all but one born in York)

1872 Thomas Alfred
1874 Walter
1877 Ernest George
1880 Reuben Joseph (born Glen Irwin)
1883 Francis William
1886 Charles
1888 Alice
1891 Hannah

As far as I know, Joseph Bolitho Johns did not have any children. I haven't seen a wedding certificate to know whether or not he was a bachelor when he married Louisa.

Have now located a photograph of the marriage certificate of Joseph Bolitho Johns to Louisa Frances Elizabeth Hearne [nee Braddick]. He was a bachelor & she a widow. He names his father as Thomas Johns, Blacksmith. So, that would be his only marriage.
