First two pictures are clues to a first name, but not the person shown
Second two pictures are the family name, not the name born as, but known as later.

··Melbourne AustraliaOK, a clue.
The person on the medal is not who we are looking for.

··Melbourne AustraliaYes. That could be the correct answer, let me consult the judges.
<drumroll>
Well done Mike!
I thought it'd unravel quickly once I posted the Hughes Medal clue.

·I’m almost inclined to give @JimInOz a star for the effort. He aced every clue except #5 and #8. Mean of me, I know, but if I gave him a star, the rest of you would lose the incentive to finish the rebus. Who can finish the rebus by answering clues 5 and 8? If you read his answer, you might think he missed clue 4. He merged clue 3 and clue 4 to arrive at EDISON (eddy & son). So it is clue #5 I need an answer for. Also, he is out of step by one clue. It is NOT clue # 7 that needs an answer, but clue # 8. One clue. GOOGLE is your friend!
