As Marjorie has now been accounted for, it's possible the son may also be in Australia. 

Apart from curiosity - his whereabouts are only relevant to the later children of Dennis Callear if Dennis was his biological father which is probably unlikely.    Have any of those children done a DNA test?

If he is still alive - I doubt he would want his personal details broadcast over the internet as there is sufficient info in this post about Marjorie for anybody to make the connection. 

Dennis died 1987 & left a will.  Any mention of ??? in that will?

Marjorie remarried but her death is recorded as Callear, so she may have divorced Clive Huxley Taylour.  When she married him, her son was about 8.  Did he take his step-father's surname?  Did he retain that surname when Marjorie changed hers back?

Several notices in the Personal announcements section of the The Age, July 21 1976
Beloved and loving husband, Dear father, Beloved youngest son, Dearly loved brother
Dearest Son in Law & loved Brother in Law (these are Marjorie’s family - names match those on 1921 census Marjorie is transcribed as Majoris JAMES 1912 West Bromwich, Staffordshire living in Worcestershire England with her family

Not added names as only know that Marjorie is deceased - unfortunately there is no mention of a stepson ??? If you have a subscription the image can be viewed on Anc*y Australia, Newspaper Vital Notices, 1831-2001 here's the link http://www.rootschat.com/links/01tvk/

For info. Marjorie’s mother is on the same 1947 passenger list (line 16) it looks as if she passed away in Australia 1979 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/244334181/margaret-may-james

Perhaps looking for a death notice for Marjorie and/or her family members to see if he's mentioned there  :-\

Thanks SS - I have actually managed to use the different resources that you have referenced to find out that four other family members emigrated to Australia.

I have not been able to find the record of Marjorie's death. I am looking for Marjorie CALLEAR then TAYLOR on victoria bmd records.  ???

I do not currently have an Ancestry subscription as I only tend to do the family tree during the cold winter months! This is just a challenge that popped up.

Coincidentally, Marjorie's mum is laid to rest at the same cemetery as another Callear (one who is closely related to me but not Marjorie). All that way and yet they end up so close together!!
