My appologies and Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me find this elusive Henry Prowse as the family are sure he is part of my family. I put this up again in hope that someone new may see it and be able to help. I did not intend to cause any ill feelings.   I will now put Henry into  my file with other family stories that I can't verify

                  Thanks Again to all who tried to help

Hi tedscout     Re 1909 Role.  Sarah Jane Prowse (nee Harrison) was the mother of Frederick,Henry (my grandfather)James and John. She had 12 children altogether. Husband William John is buried at Amhurst cemetery, Talbot. Sarah came down to Geelong where 6 of her children lived and is buried in Geelong.
Re 1924 Role.   John married Lydia Ellen Bailey  1920 and moved to Geelong. Arthur is another son and Jean Robinson is her daughter-in-law (wife of James Robert). 
Lydia Bailey was b 1888 possibly in Adelaide SA as the family apparently lived there for some time and some still do.
The family seem to think Eva May married another Henry Prowse, but from what I gather now, she never married. and where we thought she was a sister to Lydia, now appears she was a cousin. It was this Henry Prowse that I was trying to trace but with no luck I'm afraid.
But thanks to all who have tried to help me        Val

 Hi Debra     It was Lydia's grand-daughter who gave me the info and I tried to help her but got so confused that it drove me to distraction. That's why I thought to seek help in the hope that a new contact could be found, as it doesn't look like I'm going to get anywhere with the records. I might just have to forget about them.  Thank you all for trying to help me.

Sorry  I am probably not explaining myself too well. Lets see if I can clarify myself a bit.
There appears to be two Henry Prowse' and I am trying to fit them together if possible. My grand-parents were Henry Richard Prowse and Gladys Margaret Ross married in 1905 and were the parents of Henry Prowse born 1908( he married Alice Vale in the 1940's) My grandfather's brother John Charles Prowse marr Lydia Ellen Bailey in 1920 ( she was born 1888) We know her sister was Eva Bailey whom we think married the other Henry Prowse and they both would have been born in the 1880's - 90's. As far as we can tell, the three couples were married in Talbot and were very friendly and attended family functions together.
If I try to go further into the tree, I'll end up confusing you more. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to do.

Australia / Prowse Of Talbot

Hi All         I am looking for one Henry Prowse who married Eva Bailey in Talbot.    My grandfather was Henry Richard Prowse who marr Gladys Ross, so its not him, but his brother John marr Lydia Bailey. It is said that Lydia came from Adelaide as there is a few Bailey relatives living there but no word on Henry and Eva who would have marr between 1900 and 1920.  Hoping someone can help

I have nothing on Martin's family except what I've already said.  We can't even find a death for him. There have been a couple of marriages  for a Martin, but the dates don't tally nor where he came from. We found a Bridget married to a Ralph Fuller that doesn't tally either but a son of Ann (her sister) is buried with a Julia Fuller that I can't match into the family which makes things very confusing.

 We have always been told that Eva marr a Henry Prowse but could never fit him into our family . They were living in Talbot around 1900 - 1910 and  that Eva was a sister to Lydia and Agnes who lived in Adelaide until her death. Some of Lydia and John Prowse's family would go over to her for holidays.
Henry Prowse b 1908 was my mothers brother and he marr Ruby Alice Vale from Diamond Creek , Victoria. They Lived in Portland , Camperdown and again in Portland where they died 6 weeks apart in the 1980's.       Thank you all for your trouble although it has made more confusion than answers. I think I'll ask around the family again and see if anyone can tell me more or offer more sugestions

Thank you Janet 666 for your info.   I may have misslead you a bit, this is my family but I'm after Lydia's sister Eva Bailey who married  Henry Prowse. I can't connect him to my family as he doesn't seem to exist in the records.
Henry Prowse and Gladys Ross are my grandparents and Henry prowse b 1908 is their son and brother of my mother.
