Hi and Welcome from me too.

Do you know which state in Australia they went to?  That info can help us to help you too.

Here's links to the free to search Aussie newspapers home page.  Perhaps the SS Militiades voyage of 1920 is mentioned there.   http://trove.nla.gov.au/ and  http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/search?adv=y

The National Archives of Australia does have some passenger lists for that vessel.  Here's  links to their home page.  http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/Scripts/PassengerSearch.asp  and http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx

Cheers,  JM
