Do you have the marriage cert for his second marriage?

What does it say for his marital status - does it have him as a widower ?

Lee,

Where was Norman born? I found George was born in Melbourne, so obviously the family moved around

The two children were born before 1899 and there seems to be no other births. I guess you need the death certificate


There is a tree at Ancestry but Im not going to post any of the info - they have the mother Alice born after the children were born :-S

lee,

Gins, it doesn't always say if the parents are deceased, they might just name the parents, depends on what information is given at the time.

lee,
Disregard the details I posted earlier wrong family.

1863/790 Brown Alice
1862/4173 Brown Alice Ellen
1866/888 Brown Alice

The above are possible births for Alice. The 1863 looks promising, no middle name but that doesnt mean she wasnt given one at her baptisim
