Wow - thank you so much!

Here is the house - the one with the red Jeep out front - at the address given in their death notices. Looking at the design and the colour of the bricks I'd say that it is the home they lived in.

Interesting to see... and you are right about the neighbouring constructions!

Were there children listed with them on the passenger list?

No, none listed, and no record of any births in Scotland. Given they'd been married 11 years prior to emigrating and their ages, I'm assuming that it's unlikely that children suddenly appeared on the scene once they arrived in Australia (and no children are named in the death notices unearthed above). I had been hoping to unearth an Australian branch of cousins, but I think this is unlikely!

That's a pity.

I wondered if they had relatives out here that they had come to.

Getting Jane's death certificate would be the way to go. Our certs are very detailed and any children should be listed.

Hopefully the probate packets will contain the death certificates.

A probate packet  *should* contain a death cert, will, list of heirs with full names and locations and list of assets and debts.  Occasionally they contain other certs such as marriage or death of spouse etc.

Yes both death certificates were there and there was no issue.
