Looking to find how these two got from Ipswich England to Adelaide sa during the period 06/1915 and 12/1921

Are you aware that their mother Laura Moss re-married in 1917 to a Mr. R MacDonald?
It is possible they might have travelled to Australia under the surname MacDonald.

Thanks had a look at that but problem is they may have travelled with some one as they were both under the age of 16

well Dora Rose had a good life
I see Dora married Roland Argent 17th december 1921 - so I presume you are a direct descendant .
do you know a lady named Alison Heathorn ?   she has this tree - maybe she has knowledge of when they arrived ?
I wonder why she moved from Mount Barker , South Australia to Tasmania where she died ??

There is a marriage for a Beatrice May Moss on 26 September 1936 at St Cuthberts Church Prospect, Adelaide to a John Albert Lush.

Beatrice's father is given as George Albert Moss.

Parents marriage with father's names the other way round:

Marriages Sep 1904
Moss    Albert George        Ipswich    4a   1865   
Nunn    Laura Maud        Ipswich    4a   1865

I can't see any travel records for when the girls first left.

Looks like Beatrice died in 2001 in the Adelaide area.

Possibly travelled with parents, who were living in Prospect at the time of Beatrice’s marriage.
