Adding also that some musical documents are available for reading digitised on out National Archive website.
There is one entitled the Separartion Waltz and it is dedicated to "all those ladies who worked so hard for the cause"
It seems to be published in Townsville in 1891 and printed in Brisbane.
Is this the same man?
He goes under the simpler name of Charles Manby.

Interesting snippet on the Music Council of Australia website
http://www.mca.org.au/web/content/view/51/6
Other forms of instrumental music in government schools, although forming part of the extra-curricular program mainly in secondary schools, developed with such initiatives as violin teaching in Victoria where, from 1919, Charles Manby introduced a patented violin with a hollow-stopped finger board and a colour-coded teaching method (Cameron 1969, pp.167-176). Although the Manby method met with only limited success, the Gillies Bequest of £10,000 in 1925 enabled the purchase of instruments for school bands and orchestras in Victoria and led to the formation in 1939 of a State Schools’ Orchestra Association.

Hello Cando,
Thankyou, for the time you spent locating my ancestors. It was very much appreciated.

Thanks Sue,
That would be the same Charles Manby. Charles and his brother Harland Manby immigrated to Victoria on the Ship Orient in 1889. Harland (a Violinest) didn't like it there so went to on New Zealand. Charles went back to England and lived with his mother Caroline, a widow, in Bath Somerset. Charles took up the position of Professor of Music and was there in Bath in 1901. After that I hadn't been able to locate him, but thanks to Melbourne Newspapers online, I spotted him yesterday.

I guess you have traced Charles via the 1871, 1881 census and then his widowed mother [born Denmark] living with her father and sister in the 1891 census in Bath.

I had noted the census record of Charles' mother and grandparents. I have also found his sister Eveline Manby who married Mowbray Aston Green.
I cannot find any record of the other brother, except in the 1881 census. He was Lionel Blenkinsop Jensen Manby b. 1874 in Hammersmith.

I have visited the graves in Inglewood, New Zealand of Harland and Jane Elizabeth Manby and their son Lionel William and Myra Manby.
Thanks for all the information

On the 1891 Census Lionel is living with his mother at Ash Dene, Bath, aged 15 and a scholar.

Hi
I have also found his sister Eveline Manby who married Mowbray Aston Green.
Further searches on free bdm uk show that she died.
Evelyn Frances Green died March 1/4 1902 @ Bath. 5c 431 aged 28.
There is a possible birth of a child in 1897 in Bath [5c 548] named John Mobray Green.
It also appears that Mowbray Ashton Green married again.
