Harry Edward de Gratte Maskens

[oze]

I am looking for information about Harry Edward de Gratte Maskens who lived at Kurilpa, Oxley, Queensland from the last quarter of 1921 until between 1926 and 1930. He married Laura Summers in Dec 1921 and they had a son in 1923 named Harry Edward William de Gratte Maskens who married Betty Elizabeth Gregg in the 1952. I have the information found on ancestry websites about Harry Edward and Laura de Gratte Maskens location taken from the electoral roles in 1925. What I cannot find is any record of him on passenger lists travelling between England and Australia. I was wondering if anyone would have information such as documents or family stories which record who his parents were, his age, etc. while he was living in Australia. I am trying to match him with  someone who I think is the same person and was living in England before and after the time Harry Edward de Gratte Maskens was living in Queensland.
