I found some death notices for Dorothy Brown in West Australian Oct 2006.
Can I post the images here?  (I think I have seen others do this).  Is the rationale that we can post the images but not type the names as the names on the image will not show up in a search?

I have been meaning to ask about this ...   :-\

By the way you can get subscriptions to digital versions of the West Australian for after July 2004 until present day for $8 for 24 hour access. https://archive.thewest.com.au/sign_up1.php?sc=0

 I think only Dorothy Phyllis Mary Brown is in that category.   But hang on until tomorrow morning as I have been accumulating my queries for that time period and will take out a subscription and pm you any results.

cheers,

A possibility for Jean, second daughter.
In 1954 electoral roll there is a Kenneth Douglas Wright, boilermaker, living with Jean Crawford Wright in 31 Elizabeth St, South Perth.

Kenneth Douglas Wright died 27/7/1973 aged 54  in Rossmoyne  and is in Karrakatta cemetery
Jean Crawford Wright died aged 78 in Bayswater 8/1/2002 and is in Karrakatta cemetery

regards,
   Ros

Edit to add : In 1972 electoral roll the same couple are living in 28 Rossmoyne Drive, Rossmoyne but now he is Kenneth Douglas Wright Snr and is an engineer.

And in 1943 ER, Kenneth Douglas Wright is living at 11 Hobbs Ave. South Perth as in marriage announcement.
