Billion Graves should be treated with caution. There are many errors with GPS locations & transcriptions >:(

Thanks for the probate link.

I bought the marriage cert last night and it confirms we have the correct family. I still can't see any deaths under Clara Williams. I think she must have remarried...she would have been 47 years old when Thomas died.

Hi
I will put this forward as a possibility, though only speculative at this point.

Marriage
JEPHCOTT, Leslie Ernest to Clare Elizabeth WILLIAMS, 1929 #6383

Death
JEPHCOTT Clara Eliza
Father  Unknown
Mother UNKNOWN
Death Place  BRIG
Age 85

She first appears under this name on the 1931 Electoral Roll
 
JEPHCOTT, Clara E  HD
JEPHCOTT,Leslie Ernest. Teacher
168 Booran Rd, Glenhuntly

They later moved to 114 Kooyong Rd Caulfield.

Unfortunately on later E Rolls she is listed as Clara Elma, which I think is a misprint of some sort.

If you search here using "leslie jephcott" keywords, you will see some items about him as a musician and tenor.

He was a teacher of singing as well as a performing artist.

Sorry I forgot to put the link up when I listed the above information about the Springvale scattering of Clara's ashes.
