I have been able to identify three husbands: Ennis, Burrows and Davis for Edith.

I am not finding any trace of a marriage to a Bromne (or Browne) and unless she divorced Burrows and had 4 children at a late age, this seems unlikely.

The only child named in her obit is William Ennis (Jr), but she was 96 when she died.
