He landed in Queensland which is probably the worst state to track anybody down....
Not that many William Homer in Australia (probably more for any given square mile of Stafordshire than the whole of Oz

).
Nobobdy with those parents in the death register.

Possible Queensland marriage.
William Homer
Elizabeth Harriet Bauman
5th September 1884.
Any other state I could tell you the place of marriage and parents names without buying a certificate....
1st Child.
Henry William Homer born 15th March 1885.
Once again,being Queensland, total lack of information in the index....
