    1919 WELCOME HOME Port Melbourne Standard (Vic. : 1914 – 1920), p 2 for his son Walter John junior suggests the family were then at 313 Bay Street, but that Wilson senior was in Mont Park (asylum?). He returned early with a dilated heart, died Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital at 82 years of age. (http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/165262056)
