Hi Trevor,
When John William enlisted for ww2, he was living in Rockhampton.
A copy of his record will give you particular addresses.
You may also see if there were children.
When his wife FRANCES died [according to Ryerson index] she was living in Ramsgate, NSW. 
She appears to have been cremated at Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park, Sydney NSW.  She was 69.
 Strangely her name is entered as Frances MICHAEL Rosa ETHELL.!!
 Can't see him on the index though.

 Frances Colin is listed as Colin Frances ETHELL. cremated in WA

Last abode Hamilton Hills. aged 74.  Cremated "Ashes taken by the Administrator from Fremantle"  There are other Ethells there too.

EDITED to include interments.
