I noticed a Mary Blaik BROWN on the electoral rolls but not at the same address but in the same sub district, as Thomas and Margaret so this is now very speculative research.  Her burial record at Karakatta indicates she was born c1909 so could be the Mary aged two on the passenger record.

No birth on free bdm but on Scotslands People there is one match for a birth for a Mary Blaik BROWN in 1909 and two matches for a marriage for Thomas BROWN to a Margaret in 1908.  I don't have any credits at the moment to look at the records, however I would imagine you have the marriage information.

On 1 Jul 1928 Thomas Hunter BROWN 40 years, Engineer arrived in the US on the ARCADIA.  He stated he was married, could read and write, a citizen of Great Britain, Race Scotch, Born Edinburgh....and residence Perth, WA.   I didn't check to see if Margaret was travelling with him.

I wonder where the 17 year old HORACE JAMES was when his family went to ENGLAND. Old enough to be in the workforce and almost independent I suppose.
