Thank you for all that very interesting information.
When Herbert married in 1929, he named his father as Herbert William.
His only son was named William Herbert.
As was common during these times, age at marriage was a fluid concept (my gg grandmother's was incorrect on all 4 of her marriage certs), but your information ties in neatly with 1896 being true as stated , rather than the 1893 on the mercantile record.
A quick look in South Australian records did not indicate that his siblings joined him here at all.
I appreciate the time that you took to look into that. All the best Little
