Their address in the U.K. seems to have been:

13 Bridge Rd., Winchmore Hill, London N

You could try contacting the library local to this and asking for an electoral roll look-up? (1924/25 ish??)

So we have the marriage to Kate in York and we have him in York in 1891.
We have him with Kate on the voyage out and living with her in Australia. We have Kate's death in Australia and his remarriage in the same area. We have him with new wife Annie and on he makes several return visits. He is of the right age on those visits and finally resettles with Annie in Deal. Even his death in Kent is the correct age. The death certificate could be useful.
