..death notice Henry Joseph (Harry) BRADLEY son of Mary and the late John BRADLEY ....brother of Ellen (Mrs BRIERS), Ethel (Mrs McDERMOTT), Jim (Geraldton),  Evelyn (Mrs T HOGAN, Brisbane), Mamie (Mrs DEMOREST),   Bill (Perth) John and Mervyn (dec).

The marriage registration in 1918, which would be open access, should say the father's name. Unfortunately, marriage registrations in WA didn't state the couple's birth places until 1923 (http://www.jaunay.com/bdm.html). You could get the family's understanding of Ellen's birthplace from the death registration (1976), but you would likely have to prove a direct connection to obtain that registration.

I think without the father's name from the marriage registration or another source, at least, you could never be sure any Ellen BRADLEY born around 1888 is the right one.

Good luck
