McClures last seen in London, 1911

[bookworm3498]

Can anyone help with the whereabouts of Thomas and Bethia McClure, their son Ernest, and Bethia's sister, Robina Pollock, after they sailed for Sydney, Australia on November 17, 1911?  Thomas was born in Stranraer, Scotland in 1848, Bethia in Sorbie, Wigtown, Scotland in 1850, and Ernest in Forest Hill, Kent, England in 1886.  Robina was born in Sorbie in 1855.  The family lived in London from about 1881.  I can find an Ernest doing some travelling after 1911, but I'm not sure he is the right Ernest, and there seems to be no trace of the other three after 1911.

Thanks,
J.

Thank you, Karenlee, for all of these messages.  I am very grateful!  This fills in many gaps for me.

All the best,

Just wanted to say that these messages align with the fact that Thomas' sister, Jessie Strathearn McClure, married William Miller in London in 1898 and they went to Australia - she died in Brisbane in 1946.  Thank you again,
J.
