trying to find your family is proving hard going as Fremantle and Sydney are on opposite sides of the country and Queensland and NSW are 2 different states if you have a year of birth for any member of the family it would be a great help.

Sorry got a bit ahead of myself with that I found his arrival in Australia after I hit the send button.
Your family arrived in Fremantle in 1961 their destination is shown as Melbourne in the ships passenger list so they may not have disembarked in Fremantle. i'll se if I can track them down.
Cheers

Have you got birth years for Catherine and Peter and have you looked to see if any of your family are in any trees on here?

Have you asked your Mother and your aunts as to what information they have about their cousins, the Brown family, in Australia?

Do you know when and where Joseph Brown married Margaret/Peggy, so we can try and find more details about Joseph (son) and Thomas?

Added:
Looks like your Mother was born in Glasgow, is that the birth place for the rest of the family?
