What Irish marriage index did you check? The online pilot family search, the index microfilms available on order through LDS? Did the someone you had search for you in the Archives in Dublin go to the General Register Office research room to research. That's where all the original civil registration records are held for research.
Not all marriage records were recorded in the civil registration records in Ireland. The clergy had to submit the information and pay a fee for the registration so many were overlooked.
Also that was just during the Irish War of Independence which started in 1916 and went to 1921 and there's a strong possibility the marriage couldn't be registered esp. with your grandfather being in the British military.
Rush is a lovely seaside town in North County Dublin and I wonder how they wound up there. I assume you have your grandfather's British military records? Was he stationed in that area?
You could contact the church and see if there's a marriage record there prior to 1919, here's the contact information:

I would also get the first child's baptismal record because there would be an indication there if the parents weren't married so that will be a clue.
You first need to find out where your Notley was born and his parents names. You can do that through the Ireland General Register Office. You need that detail to confirm other "sightings" of him elsewhere in Ireland, England, Scotland, Australia, etc.
If he supposedly died in the war you'd first need to find out if he actually joined the British military. As I mentioned there are medal cards for Frederick Notleys on the UK British Military Archives website. It would be worthwhile to find out if any of those are actually your Frederick from their records there.
No people weren't sent to Australia for crimes in the Twentieth Century. That stopped in the 1870s. Actually Australia wouldn't accept criminals at that time. It's highly unlikely someone from Australia would have come to Ireland in the late 1800s and went to Bray in Co. Wicklow. I've never seen anyone on the census records who was born in Australia but was in Ireland at that time.
It was very expensive to go to Australia (still is) and very expensive to travel from Australia anywhere else.
