Be sure to check the NSW BMD's

I can see the childrens marriages are listed

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/search.htm

The son who looks to me like Master E L in the passenger list appears to be Herbert Lawrence

I have merged your posts as I had already provided the marriages on this thread.

Herbert served in the Australian Army in WW2. He gives his date of birth as 6 Mar 1908 born Coventry

I note when they arrived in Sydney on the 13 March they are listed as

Howard, Edith, Douglas, Herbert, Nellie and Adelaide. Nationality British, Race English.

I can see Howard in 1901 in Coventry. Its getting very late here and I really must call it a night, but to date I have had no luck finding them in 1911. I am not easily spotting the girls births either.

Douglas Howard WHITEHEAD Jun 1/4 1906 Solihull Warwickshire 6b 665
Herbert Lawrence WHITEHEAD Jun 1/4 1908 Solihull Warwickshire 6b 681

When they departed Liverpool their last country of permanent residence was British Possessions which would seem to indicate they had not been living in England. (although they departed from Liverpool.)

The girls marriage certificates should give you further information.

Information listed on NSW cerificates

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/certificateDatesAndContent.htm

You can purchase a transcript rather than a certificate, cheaper and faster. The transcript is emailed to you.

Death Notices - Sydney Morning Herald

SMH Sep 26 1990
WHITEHEAD Douglas Howard
- Sep 24, late of Sydney and Mittagong, dearly loved husband of Marjorie, loving father of Peter and Irene.  White Dove Funerals. 
There was no separate funeral notice - it reads as thoughthis Marjorie may have still been alive at the time of this death.

SMH 16 June 1969  WHITEHEAD Margery Mary - June 14 at hospital, of 35 Way St Kingsgrove, dearly loved and loving wife of Bill and loved mother of Kay, passed away peacefully aged 56.  In God's Care

Very strange - discrepancies with husband and children for this Margery, however I note that the oldest WHITEHEAD is Howard William, so is this 'Bill' the husband of this Margery? ??  ???.  There is another death notice for this Margery listing her siblings which I have sent by PM as they may still be alive.
