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.
