As a starting point

Elizabeth Emma SMITH

marriage details family pilot search

birth family pilot

**ADDED**

herbert also died in perth, western australia on dec 25 1962.
all i know was that he was born in cardiff wales (that is on his death cerificate)

I have re-checked and can find no Herbert born in Cardiff Wales to Caleb William DAVIES and Elizabeth Emma SMITH, only the one above who was born in Gloucester which is in ENGLAND - I hope that the above is the one you are looking for 

Gloucester is some way from Cardiff by car the journey takes around 1hour 30mins.

Here's a map
