Sorry again just checked on SP Robert was born St Giles 1914 so it would have been after that

I can't see any travel records for them on Findmypast, but not sure if they cover that period.

By manipulating the SP site (doesn't cost a thing) - this family shows together on the 1911 census. No further detail unless credits bought.

Might not be a census (you said you didn't have one with them on) but the next best thing and at least it shows the family together

(looking on google, wonder if that would be Lawnmarket, for their leaving address)

In the 1920s (and even when I was a student in Edinburgh in the 1960s) the Lawnmarket was a really slummy disreputable place. Not somewhere a lone female would venture after dark in the 1960s - and with trepidation even in daytime.
I'm not surprised the family decided to emigrate!

Nowadays, it's a trendy tourist area full of bars and restaurants, with pleasant outdoor seating.
