Two things that strike me as slightly odd.

Whether the marriage was at Ballarat or Melbourne.   It would be kind of understandable for someone who didn't know where the actual marriage had taken place,   but thought it was in Victoria,  to say that it was at Melbourne.   But since the apparent record actually exists,  and it is specifically at Melbourne,  then it seems strange to claim that it was at Ballarat.

The second thing that is odd,  is that the informant on the death certificate is not the husband, nor indeed the son.  Unless there is indication of a severe estrangement,  this suggests to me that the husband was already dead.

Hi
So Thomas Brown and William Shaw had been in partnership, which was dissolved, and it appears not to have been on friendly terms.

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page1420046

Then in 1890 I found thomas Brown Engraver and Diesinker at 236 Pitt St in Sands Directory, does that sound like the same fellow?

mum mum

Thomaas Brown Engraver between 1890 and 1915, at 207 elizabeth St in 1895, 1898-1904 at 126 Pitt St, 1907 at 228 Pitt St. 1907-16 at 8 Rowe St. Still checking between 1916-20 when he is not there.

There is a Thomas Brown in F 1096. Interred 18-11-'81. Now this could be in the same row and opposite. Just a guess, though.

Just re-read and this can't be him if he was still alive in '84.  ::)

Another, F 1252 30-10-1895

That's it 1880 to 1900.

Sorry, jumped in too quickly, he is still at 8 Rowe St in 1920. The elizabeth St address in 1895 is close though. mum mum
