Just looking at Thomas Heywood BIGGIN.

I see him in 1968 still at Lyneham ACT (occupation 'lub op'),with Faith Hilda Grace BIGGIN; they are at 133 Goodwin St which is next door to Colin Henry BIGGIN, clerical assistant, who is still at 131 Goodwin St.  No mention of Daisy 

T H BIGGIN 's next entry is the 1980 one in Mullumbimby.

The 1968 occupation 'lub op' would probably be a lubrication operator at a garage.

Nice find Sue.

Highfield was a Boarding House in McLeod St Cairns at that time and maybe Vincent was in Cairns as part of the War effort where many landing craft and vessels were built along Smith's Creek for the US and Australian Forces, with Vincent being a Sawyer his skills would have been needed.

Sue, in 1943 Daisy is using the surname BIGGIN and is with Colin at Geards Hill,NSW.  

I feel that it's very likely there was no formal marriage and that she and Colin left Murwillumbah to go south together - only my opinion though - no proof! They may have married much later after a divorce for Daisy and Vincent, or perhaps Vincent's death, or they may have lost touch with Vincent altogether. Divorce was quite expensive and you had to prove wrong-doing on the part of your spouse or wait many years for separation to be used as the reason for divorce.

Wonder if the son Leslie kept in touch with either of them  

Eilidh, if you have the dates of death for Daisy and Colin I'm happy to look up Qld papers and see if there are death notices for them.  Someone else may be able to find them earlier though as I won't be at the library till next week now.
