It actually says...... accompanied by Mrs and Miss Mellish....

I think Edith took a trip to England perhaps to visit family.
Edith Savage
Age 53
Birth Date abt 1882
Port of Departure Brisbane, Australia
Arrival Date 7 Nov 1935
Port of Arrival London, England
Ship Baradine

Intended address 53 Grosvenor Rd. Ilford Essex. 

There was an Amy MELLISH who married in 1904.  Possibly Edith's sister born 1879.

Marriage

Marriages Sep 1905 

MELLISH  Amy   
SUMNER  Chauncey Hugh
W. Ham  4a 538   

This couple appear on the following census without children.
Ilford, Essex was the area where the SUMNER couple lived and Amy remained in that area it seems though I am not sure the couple remained together.

Information around late 1930's has them living at different addresses and the National Probate Calendar shows Chauncy's estate favoured someone other than Amy.

Edith's brother Ernest MELLISH (b. 1878) is also recorded in the late 1930's with a family.

The M MELLISH aged 16 is a bit confusing.

A newspaper clip  listing the passengers arriving per OMRAH 1902 shows

Mr and Mrs G. Mellish, Miss F MELLISH and Miss E MELLISH.

Ages are not mentioned .

The listing for the return voyage to England in 1904 per Orotava shows
Mr Geo MELLISH
Mrs MELLISH
Miss MELLISH aged 29

Aged 29 would make her Flora MELLISH born 1874/5

As you will know, I'm sure, George and Harriett had a son named Rowland.

Thanks and again, apologises. I really messed up with this posting for help. Indeed, the family group that I am interested is searching for is the MELLISH one. I had thought that George and Harriet had travelled with one of their daughters but it looks as though 2 of them went with them, namely Amy and Edith. I would appeal for further help in making any trace of them after they emigrated. Thankyou

[cumbria nige]

The reference of their return voyage is likely to be making reference to their daughter Florence, b. Croydon 1874  (Mar 1874 Croydon 2a 239)

I found other messages on this site which gave me details of the deaths of Edith's children. It looks as though most of them died in infancy
