I'm looking for an entire family who seem to have disappeared between the 1901 and the 1911 Scottish census.

They are:

Isabella and William Malcolm and their children Louisa 1890, Isabella1893, Johann 1895 and Annie 1899.

They were on the 1901 census as being in Aberdeen and I have birth certificates for Louisa and Johann and the marriage certificate for Isabella and William.

There's anecdotal evidence that members of the same family (cousins etc) emmigrated to Australia or Canada. I've checked what records I can (including the Scotish census and whatever shipping records I can find for free) but am drawing a blank. A whole family can't simply have disappeared, surely?

Any tips? I've run out of money now so I can't do anymore census checks.
