I have checked the electoral rolls for the Congdon family from 1930 to 1954 (internet access) and the only other person listed at 93 Hebbard St was "Jean" in 1943.

Herbert Baldock Bartley was also at this address in 1936 & 1937, as a Shop Assistant, and in 1943 & 1949 as a Fettler.
In 1954 he was at 29 Silver St., and a Platelayer, with Elizabeth May.
