Just noticed - one of the named daughters on headstone of Elaine Patricia ROUBIN - appears on an electoral roll (NSW) 1972, sharing an address with her mother (she's also surname ROUBIN). 

   ~  Lu

Both married in that name too.

ADDING
By way of confirmation, Both  offspring were born within the period of the marriage to Gene ROUBIN according to some travel documents I have located which show birth dates.

No given name for Roubin in link 2 but reference to salvage a strong pointer to Gene Roubin. Describes Roubin as German - elsewhere have seen him described as Russian.

Hi
He and his mother were definitely Russian but I think it's just a slip up inthe reporting of the time that has him as German.

An adventurous life.

This is the "castaway" story  with Gene and his mother where they ended up in WA.
Perhaps the chap in the Hong Kong 1932 item is a relative or even his father.

Father I was thinking - Gene's 2nd given name Jack?

I don't think any of these hits in the Singapore Newspapers advance matters, but interesting nevertheless

Yes, some interesting info there, mckha.

And from the link you provided above > "The Strait Times"  - 5 March 1947 -- Gene Jack ROUBIN - advice of intention to apply to the Governor of the Colony of Singapore, for naturalisation ...

But this too, from Australia  >  September 1945

 ... Intention to apply for naturalisation -- Gene Jack ROUBIN - stateless, but formerly Russian nationality - born Stalingrad ...

Thank you everybody, we seem to have solved a long standing family mystery and Patricia's niece is very grateful.
