Noticed this record

Arriving Plymouth May 1935 on the STRATHNEVER from Marseille
DAVIES Eileen Frances Elizabeth Home duties, 42 years  Proposed address in UK  Down Place, Windsor, Berks
Country of last permanent residence England
Country of intended permanent residence England.

Quote
Departing Southampton 7 Feb 1947 aboard the ASTURIAS ticketed to Melbourne

DAVIES Mr H G T 65 Publicity Manager (Aspro Ltd) address in UK Downs Place Windsor Berkshire country of last permanent residence British Possessions intended permanent residence in Australia then UK
DAVIES Mrs E F E 54
Kris

Their stay in Aus was quite short as -

Arriving Southampton, 31 July 1947 on the ASTURIAS from Melbourne

DAVIES Eileen 54  Housewife
DAVIES George  56  Publicity
Proposed address in UK -  Down Place, Windsor
Country of last permanent residence  England
County of intended permanent resident England.

Perhaps this was one of his last trips as he died 1954.

Is it possible to search the old electoral rolls in Berkshire to find out when they became residents?

Thank you again. 
Herman did very well for himself in the end - Down Place - beautiful and a very affluent area.
I dont know how to search electoral rolls but will find out.
Do you know where Herman's father William was born and lived or tell me how to find out?
Thank you again.

I am most impressed - marriage details arrived today.
Eileen Goldberg's parents WERE Thomas Goldberg (dropped the Nicholas I assume), traveller and Annie Goldberg nee Gaynor.  So your information was correct.
Thank you so much again.
