I think Helen has the marriage details but she needs to know when Thomas arrived in Australia and was he with his parents? as he was born in England

I'd be interested to know what it says on the record I posted:-
"Yesterday at 20:53" Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839–1923
Immigration & Emigration

Could someone have a look at that one please?

Thanks Jonesey!

So date of birth is the same as that on 1901 census, which leads me to believe that that is him arriving in Australia in 1886, and he obviously came back sometime between 1895 and 1901.

What we need is the name of his father and his occupation, which should be on one of his marriage certs?

This looks to be Thomas in 1881:-

Household Members:

Morgon Thomas Henry St George S. 1d 129
The district St George S. is an alternative name for St George Southwark and it is in the county of Surrey

which will give you his parents names!

Oliver Robert being the brother of Thomas, this is him in 1871:-

Father's occupation is noted as Hair Cutter, so looks to be the correct family, but need confirmation from the marriage cert!

Looks like it is your man then. Shame that he cannot be spotted returning to the UK.
