Vic. Death 7825/1868 ROBINSON William Bramwell 46 - Thomas - Sarah SELLARS - b. York d. Vic.

The Leeds Times (Leeds, England), Saturday, August 15, 1868
On the 26th May at Ararat, aged 46, Mr William Bramwell Robinson, chemist, Ballarat, Australia, second son of the late Mr Thomas Robinson, tailor and draper, Hustlegate, Bradford.

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic.) - Fri 18 Dec 1868 p.7
Judicial and Law Notices.
IN the MATTER of the ESTATE of WILLIAM BRAMWELL ROBINSON, Deceased.- Pursuant to the Statute of Trusts 1864, Section 60.- Notice is hereby given, that all creditors and other persons having any CLAIMS, or demands, against or upon the estate of William Bramwell Robinson, formerly of Ballarat, in the colony of Victoria, chemist, deceased (who died on the 26th day of May, 1868 ) ...

Vic. Birth 1859 ROBINSON Wm Beamwell - Wm Beamwell - Louisa Frederica MAYES - b. BALLT W #19152

No death for William junior in NSW index in 1873 or earlier.

New South Wales Government Gazette (Sydney, NSW) - Tue 25 Nov 1873 [Issue No.268] Page 3270
ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION
In the estate of William Bramwell Robinson, late of Dollar Yale, Clarendon, near Gundagai, in the Colony of New South Wales, gentleman, deceased. ... Louisa Frederica Robinson, of Harbour View Terrace, Peacock Point, Balmain ...

William senior clearly died in Victoria not near Gundagai in NSW so that must refer to William junior ?? But junior would have been about 14 so not 'gentleman' ??

I can't find a later death for William junior.

William senior was in Victoria by 1859 so why would his probate notice have a NSW address?

The Argus (Melbourne, Vic.) - Sat 2 Apr 1859 p.5
LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
APPOINTMENTS.
... William Bramwell Robinson, vice Henry Foster, resigned, to be a trustee of the Ballaarat Hospital ground; ...

Lots of deaths 1851 - 1861 in RD Bradford for a Thomas and Sarah Robinson.

I can't find a tree that helps.
