It's only a possibilty, still can't find a link to Francis BRYEN. 

However, looks like Archibald and Catherine (married 1905) divorced in 1924

But in 1937. Archibald Ernest,  Catherine Grace, Dorothy Beryl, and  Frances, (all surname Walker) are all at same address 😀
29 Duke Street, Kensington

I think in 1942 Francis Charles BRYEN was in Rabaul in  local military unit ie. not Australian Army, so possibly a civilian resident. Did Francis and Dorothy marry outside Australia?
