(I don't know why Winifred would have been in Gloucestershire, but given the rarity of the surname Brolly, and that date of birth and middle name match, and that there seems to be no other death of a Winifred L(ouisa) Brolly, I am as certain as can be it was her.)

Details from PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 11 Feb 2015)
With a name like Smith there were inevitably a number of Christie = Smith marriages, so identifying children of this marriage using the mother's maiden name column in the BMD index is harder than is often the case.
However, the latest marriage in 1912 or earlier close to Camberwell of a Christie groom where one of the 2 brides on the same page was a Smith bride appears to have been in Woolwich district in 1892, with a few others closer in Labeth and Wandsworth a little earlier.
(of course the marriage index shows the bride's surname at the time of her marriage, which was not necessarily her maiden name, so I could have missed one or more).
However, given that these marriages were sometime before 1912 and not in Camberwell district it seems probable that the 2 Christie children shown here were the offspring of William and Frances and this is pretty well confirmed by both of them being with William and Frances at the time of the 1939 register.
