  • Notes 
    • According to Jill Bickmore (nee Cockram) in an Email dated 10 June 1999.
      "Herbert moved to Canning Vale around 1901 according to Unice. And wasn't married until 1906 I don't know if this means he lived there first as a single man or not. I will re check Unice's notes on (t)his one.
      This is what she wrote:
      Herbert was in partnership with his brother Walter Eugene Cockram for a time in a dairy but Walter was often sick and in the end the partnership was dissolved. Herbert moved to Canning Vale about 1901."
      According to his granddaughter, Eula Hunt (nee Cockram), Herbert was unable to drive and relied on Ada, his wife, to drive him wherever he needed to go.
