Not a problem Rosie, got it all sorted. So many website now place the month first and the date second for records - I was brought up for it to be date, month, year - so have made the same mistake myself a number of times.

To add;
Fanny, Elsie, Herbert and Alfred left London, England, on the steamship Norseman on 10 Jan 1913 (not 1st Oct).
They arrived into Sydney on 4 Mar - see Sydney Morning Herald 4 Mar 1913 p.10 (available for free viewing on TROVE)

Many thanks Ambly and also Rosie,

If it is "Fanny (Frances) Collins probably in 1891 Fulham RG12 /47 f134 p34 age 21 born Wantage, Berkshire" then they hadn't been married for 21 years as stated on C1911.

For anyone who may be looking for Thomas Herbert (known as Herbert) MARTIN jnr. he was employed as a store boy at the NSW Railways Eveleigh stores branch on 6 Jan 1914, was granted leave to enlist AIF WW1 - service #7071 - and returned to the Railways after he was discharged from war service. He resigned on 25 Apr 1937.
 
Herbert married Jessie Alma LEES on 29 Sept 1920 (NSW BDM #16344) in Sydney. He also served during WW2 - service #NX117463.

He died on 01 Nov 1971 (NSW BDM #65056) at Solider's Point (town on the central coast of NSW).

Herbert's father died on 27 Nov 1931 (NSW BDM #19915) in Sydney. 

His mother, Fanny, married Henry HOPE in 1938 (NSW BDM #19720) in Sydney. She died on 13 Oct 1956 in Sydney (NSW BDM #31639).

Thanks again, Bonnie

Thanks Ambly your great finds, appreciated.

Should have mentioned that I am not related to any of these people. My husband and I are volunteers who are researching a WW1 Roll of Valour for the NSW Railways Stores Branch (which is displayed at Central Railway Station in Sydney) where Fanny & Thomas' son, Thomas (known as Herbert) appears.

Our aim is to write individual profiles - war service and family background - of each of the 82 names on the Roll.
Again, thanks
Bonnie
