Harris family in Michigan

[KenzieMac]

My grandad's sister, Elizabeth Harris married Alexander Frew in 1891.  Their son, Robert Harris Frew (DoB 1894) married Mary McGill in 1920.  I have reason to think that they travelled to Detriot, Michigan but don't know when.  Can anyone help me with dates they may have arrived in the United States, if they had children and did they settle there or return to Scotland?  Thank you in advance of any help.

Robert Harris Frew was naturalised in Detroit on 12 March 1941. Birthdate 14 October 1893

Looks like they had two children born in Scotland - one around 1920-21 and the other in 1923.

Robert and the youngest child travelled to the US in 1929 on the Caledonian arriving New York on 23 Jun 1929. The manifest shows that wife Mary was already living in Detroit by then, but I haven't found an earlier passenger record as yet
