Hi looking for more info on Henry Herbert Erskine b 1903 Warrington Lancashire, he m twice the last time in 1936 to Evelyn Vickery 1907-1991 following on can find no trace of him, or when he died.
I also think his father was Henry Herbert Erskine & mother Alice Maude but cannot be sure.

Did he go to Australia?

I think you need Henry Herbert's birth certificate:

Agreed you do need Henry Herberts birth cert to check!

I think the baptism I posted above is pretty conclusive so wouldn't waste £9.25 on birth certificate.

The marriage of Henry Herbert snr's sister to Albert Edward Pullin (hence Alice Maude being his sister-in-law on the 1911)

many thanks all, now need to sort it all out

Is this Evelyn travelling out to Australia?

Name: Mrs E Erskine
Gender: Female
Age: 35
Birth Date: abt 1903
Departure Date: 24 Sep 1938
Port of Departure: London, England
Destination Port: Sydney, Australia
Ship Name: Orontes
Search Ship Database: Search for the Orontes in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Shipping line: Orient Line
Official Number: 146027
Master: W Savage


Also travelling was Mrs L Vickery (70), 22 Lyndhurst Ave, Tolworth, Surbiton, Surrey and 9 month old Miss G and Miss M Erskine of the same address.

Following on from alviegal's find above, when Mrs E Erskine and 2 children arrived in Freemantle they were headed to Sydney where their onward address was c/o Mrs Mills, 2 Hamilton Street, Rose Bay.

Mrs L Vickery was headed to 2, The Crofts, Hamilton Street, Rose Bay, Sydney. Can't see an arrival for Misses G & M.

Ian, in your opening post you give Evelyn Vickery as 1907 - 1991, is that based on this death?

Evelyn Erskine in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Evelyn Erskine
Birth Date: 22 Dec 1907
Date of Registration: May 1991
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Andover
Inferred County: Hampshire

If so, do you have the death certificate to ensure that it is the correct Evelyn?

ADDED:
I don't think that it is, given Evelyn's age on passenger lists and the details I've posted below.
