Find Ancestors

Can anyone find any information on the following for me please?

James Arthur Gilmour born 1945 in Greenock, Scotland, he had a sister Henrietta Campbell Gilmour born Greenock. They left to go to Australia in 1950 with parents Thomas( born1911) and Mary Gilmour (ms McKinnon) (born 1913).
I would be grateful for any details of travel and any information since they arrived there, especially on Henrietta, please.

I have found out quite a lot on National Archives of Australia. I think I'm sorted now.

Thank you to everyone who helped me.

James married Janice Smith in 1966 in Brisbane.

Hi Sandra,
Thomas and /Mary Gilmour, and children...Henrietta C and James A. departed Liverpool on board M.V Georgic on December 4th 1950, arrived Sydney January 8th 1951.


kind regards, Lorraine in sunny Mackay Qld.

Lorraine, thank you very, very much, I appreciate your help.
Is there any way of finding a marriage or death for Henrietta please?

Thank you again.

I have found out that when the family applied to go to Australia, they had relatives already over there. Thomas's wife Mary had an uncle living there.

Robert Campbell born c1876 in Greenock, the address given for him in Australia was -
46 Lever Street, Albion N.2. Brisbane, Queensland.

Can I be really cheeky and ask if anyone can find anything on Robert as well please? (I have no idea when he went to Australia)

New Info -

Robert married Sarah Andrews and they lived in America before moving to Australia.

Alison.... you're brilliant, thank you very, very much. That certainly looks like them, I never knew about daughter Ellen and I had Dugald as a son but I think it may be Douglas.

Thank you so much. Can I ask if there's any way I can find a marriage for
Henrietta, she married someone with the surname "Hutchinson" possibly in America ?
