Finding Jim and Tom Green - 1927 onwards

[AlexMcK]

Hello All

I'm trying to trace my grandfather's brothers, James Crawford Green (b. 1910 - registered Lochgelly, Fife) and Thomas Crawford Green (b.1911 - registered Kinglassie, Fife). They left on the 'Baradine' , bound for Sydney, in 1927. They never came back and I think letters between them stopped after a few short years. I would love to know what happened to them once they arrived in Oz

Could someone please suggest how I might start going about this - first steps, and all that? 

Many thanks

Alex
