So, James Brown McLachlan was a son from a previous marriage of John (Jock) McLachlan.

For interest:
James Brown McLACHLAN born 1901 Greenock West (564 / 2 / 287) mmn McNEIL

John McLACHLAN married Margaret B McNEILL in 1900 Greenock West (564 / 2 / 108)

James B MacLachlan
Edith R SMITH
1931   Glebe,
12497

The strange thing is though that on the Parish register, James says his mother's name was Margaret BROWN. 
James is 26, manufacturer, Glebe, born Greenock. Father - John Matthew McLACHLAN, carpenter.

There is a Margaret McNeil BROWN born 1876 in Greenock (564 / 3 / 1347) mmn STALKER.

[sparrett]

Well,
I do not know what became Margaret McNeil B. McLachlan.
According to the Victorian electoral Roll, in 1912 John McLachlan was living at St James Lane, South Melbourne. A shipwright.
No others of the surname with him.

Possibly Margaret had chosen not to register to vote or not any longer with him.

In 1914 he is with Florence (who is registered to vote  as Florrie) at 5 Haseldene Place, South Yarra.

Occ,-A shipwirht and HD.

There are a number of deaths in Greenock that could be Margaret. I had a quick look for an immigration for John and James, tricky as such common names. Will have another look.
