Re-install isn't using new /home hdd

Just re-installed UbuntuGnome 16.04.2 because the last update broke my sound. I also installed a new hdd to use as /home. i felt pretty confident as the last re-install I did was with a separate /home partition and all my settings were there waiting for me.
During the install, I selected the new hdd (sdb) to mount as /home (I had previously copied the original /home contents to the new drive) and told the installer to not use the original /home (sda7). I chose to reformat / and the install went fine.
Except the new drive is mounting at /media/anthony. Nautilus shows a brand new /home directory with empty folders and the new drive with folders 'anthony' and 'Systemback', with the 'anthony' folder containing the old /home contents.
I poked around this thread but everything it said to do was already done (add line to /etc /fstab/ with the new hdd uuid).
anthony@anthony-linux:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=741c1ab7-19e3-4138-8dd8-95634e26f92f / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=e12bfb25-4ed8-4c9e-b6e6-b077619f0560 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
But if I'm in a terminal, I can cd .. to 'root', cd to 'home', and there are the contents from the old /home partition.
anthony@anthony-linux:~$ cd ..
anthony@anthony-linux:/home$ cd ..
anthony@anthony-linux:/$ ls
bin dev initrd.img media proc sbin sys var
boot etc lib mnt root snap tmp vmlinuz
cdrom home lost+found opt run srv usr

1200x600x19mm.dxf
36 hi.skb
36 hi.skp
3d scoring.ods
46ft mid.svg
... and so forth.
The original /home partition remains on the first disk (sda) but unused.
I'd like to get the install to use the new disk as /home (like I chose during the install).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
anthony
Addendum: Gparted is showing me different things ... a screenshot several minutes ago showed the old /home partition but unmounted (sda7)
enter image description here
but after a reboot it now shows the old /home partition with the mount point of the new hdd

Your fstab shows it mounted sdb1 as /home. Your screen show just shows sda7 mounted as a default mount using its UUID. Are you sure you copied all data from sda7 to sdb1? To move /home uses rsync- Be sure to use parameters to preserve ownership & permissions help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

I copied the contents of the original /home partition to the new drive with Nautilus so afaik I got it all. I'm not averse to using rsync or dd if I need to do it over ... the new drive can be re-formatted if need be to start again. I've reinstalled using the original /home partition so at least I have all my settings back on the packages I've re-installed so far (and I have audio!) Now that I've got a working system, I should move my /home from sda7 to sdb by: - reformatting sdb - follow the procedure in the link you provided Thanks again!
