Find Ancestors

Hi I wonder if anyone can help with finding anymore information on a Jessie Ferguson born 24 Oct 1908 in Glasgow. She has siblings Anne, William, Walter & Jean with parents William Ferguson & Jane Logue
By 1910 the family moved to Dundee due to father William's occupation as a Lithographer. In 1919 Jessie and Anne are in Maryhill Industrial School. Not sure what happened until she appears on shipping information to Sidney on 17 Aug 1929 with her brother William.

Family rumour is she met a "Bill" in Australia and at some point she married him. Bill originally belonged England and they did move back to England, possibly London area. Cant find marriage in England or Australia from 1930 onwards. Now they definitely had at least 1 daughter called Margaret but again I cant find records as cant confirm where she was born England or Australia. Margaret also married a William who was a policeman.Think the surname is Hann for Margarets William but have also tried the name Hawn. I have no surname for Jessie and Bill and have tried to find Margaret 1st to get the surname

Jessie's siblngs Anne and William lived in the Melbourne area by 1940s
Possible address for Margaret and William was 30 Cumberland Park, London W3 with his father being W.A. Hann 16 Cambridge Rd, Lexden, Colchester. The surnames and addresess were handwritten many years ago and I have tried all ways to spell the Hann which may be Hawn and I have even tried Mann just out of desperation.

Any help to fill in the gaps for Jessie would be gratefully received.

Bill is often a shortened version of William.
