Hi

At Warringha NSW in 1943, Illiwa St, Eva Ida Henderson, home duties.
A Lawrence Gordon Henderson at Hillside, Shellgrove Rd, engineer.
Cant see her after that but can't find a death either.

1930, at Macleay St Darlinghurst home duties no Lawrence. Also listed at Regent St West Maitland.
1933-1937 Sydney Rd Balgowlah
1937 lawrence Gordon is at West St Balgowlah.
Perhaps husband Lawrence died sometime before 1930, is the other Lawrence her son perhaps?

Two death notices with lots of descendants mentioned.  She was a widow.

I was researching on the Henderson-Masterton family line and descendants, came to this page.

Thought I would pop this information here that I found on TROVE about Eva's son, Laurence Gordon & his wife Violet ROBEY

Published 18 Sept 1917 The Inverell Times
The Horrors of War.
The horrible cruelties of this war!
Soon after it started, "Tim" Henderson, a Manly boy, was married to Vi Robey, of the family that has been associated with the Village nearly all its day. Then Tim went off to do his bit; and his little wife left for the other side to be as near as she could get. A few weeks ago Tim was sent back to Australia with an eye and a limb missing. His wife had to stay behind— she couldn't get a pass-
port, and she couldn't have travelled then even if the leave was given.
Now — trouble heaped upon trouble — word comes that the baby is dead —
'Bulletin".
