I have read the thread although not quite got everything in perspective.
Looking at the VRs for the address prior to immigration & after (1925 & 1930) the surname Robertson which I noted in an early post may have some significance  :-\

ROBERTSON MARY MRS Proprietor Occupier
HOUSE 36 RODNEY STREET, EDINBURGH
1925
VR010000497-


ROBERTSON MARY MRS Proprietor Occupier
HOUSE 36 RODNEY STREET, EDINBURGH
1930

Gosh, thank you so much for that. Her maiden name was Jessie Wilson Penman so that explains that name. She married George Urquhart thus Jessie Urquhart. The Ellis is a shocker! Does that mean she remarried twice?

The Robertsons at 36 Rodney street is fascinating too. They must be some sort of distant relative I think.

Looking at street view on Google it looks like this address comes with a shop underneath. Is there any way of find out what sort of shop it would be at the time?
I found that when Jessies children went to Australia in 1928; Their address given on the passenger lists was 36 Rodney Street, Edinburgh. Robert (20) and his sister M.W (22) were listed as shop keepers as profession. No profession for WJ (14) (too young). I had been confused by this as the family were from Dunfermline originally.

Imagine her waving her 3 children off on a ship knowing you wouldn't see them again. Is there any sign of a death record for Jessie in Scotland?

I've found her! I'd been looking at the ships departure list for Adelaide by mistake - she got off at Melbourne. She is travelling on the ship Orama as J. Marshall with her children (all Urquharts) departing on March 1928. Interestingly she is the only Marshall aboard. I think she left her husband behind, or maybe he died? I'm so glad she went with the children! I've also found her memorial plaque in Falkner Cemetery, Melbourne. She died 25/03/1941 aged 61 as Jessie Wilson Marshall. Interestingly none of the relatives knew she had remarried, so no one knew she was there! Thank you so much for your help with this.
There are a few Robertsons onboard the ship too. I don't know if that is co-incidence or whether they are related to the ones she was living with in Edinburgh. They are
Robertson   A   born1864   
Robertson   A   born1912   
Robertson   A R born1876   
Robertson   I   born 1914
I found a newspaper advert The Scotsman - Saturday 04 February 1928 where she is selling 36 Rodney Street - second floor. It says Mrs Marshall - no mention of Mr Marshall - with possession for 1st March. This must have been when they left to travel down for the ship departure on 3rd March!
