Hi Lynie,

I checked the other electoral rolls

1914     44 Derby St Collingwood

William Waterhouse BROWN - Blacksmith
Edward Thomas BROWN - Blacksmith
Elizabeth BROWN - Home Duties


1924     11 Gordon Grove, Northcote

William Waterhouse BROWN - Driller

Don't know where Elizabeth was 


1931   11 Gordon Grove, Northcote

William Waterhouse BROWN - Driller
Elizabeth BROWN - Home Duties


So it looks like William stayed with Elizabeth until he died in 1932

Hi Lynie,
There are others of your Browns at the same cemetery I think
Perhaps you will enjoy a browse.

There is also a ww1 service history for the son William Kent in which his father William W. is Next of Kin.
You may like also to see another address for Elizabeth in about 1935
