When she came back to England 1926 a daughter age 2 was with her.

I expect  she has passed on by now but I'm unable to confirm right now, so omitting her name

Thanks again. You have gave me enough ammunition to make a little progress. I believe that the daughter's name was Lauren Margret. If so then you are correct, she passed in Melbourne 1971, in fact predeceasing her mother by a year. Now to research her twin sister who also ended up in Melbourne.
On a personal note I did not even know of the existence of these two aunts until a couple of days ago. Last month I found an uncle who was a WW2 bomber crew member MIA who came from Canada. Very recently also a 3rd G'Grandmother of Scottish blood who was born and married in Quebec, sadly died early in Poole Dorset. I believe she came from the 78th Highland Fusiliers being posted in Quebec, along with General Wolfe, to fight the French there.

No, the child was not named Laurel Margaret on the shipping list offered by amondg in 1926/1927.
Lauren Margaret  was the name of  the wife of her son, Thomas Mac.
If you read the links which are in the posts given, the details can be located accurately.

Iris made a few trips back and forth to UK as has been mentioned,  and on one occasion in 1939, she took both children.

Derek, her daughter's name is in the mother's death notice. It also gives her married name. Guess you didn't read the notice.

There is no evidence that daughter is deceased.

Also, it is LAUREL Margaret as per death notice of Iris, nok on military record and death registration in Adelaide.

Amondg, the reason I thought the daughter was from second husband was because Mac had Diamond in brackets. Now I think it is likely daughter was a Diamond.

Her son Thomas Mac went to live and work in England before returning to Oz and joining the RAAF.
