I see you have Josephine born 1909. Are you confident about this? If so this might be her death - the cert might offer some clues. Hopefully the informant was a family member:

Name: Josephine O'Brien
Birth Date: 9 Sep 1908
Date of Registration: May 1985
Age at Death: 76
Registration district: Liverpool
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 36
Page: 791

This is him presumably. There appear to be several siblings haing checked on Freebmd. Did they stay in the UK?

Josephine's name is fairly unusual, though not unique. I would try 'search trees' to see if anyone shares this family.
