If you search at the national archives - there are 2 records for a Moira Reid who immigrated in the 20th century. is it Moira, rather than Moria? Nothing under Moria. One of the records has been digitized - came from Paisley (which seems not far from Motherwell, but record says born in Paisley) - immigrated to Brisbane

Brisbane marriages are only available online to 1937 (off line to 1939) and deaths to 1964. Unlike the UK, it is difficult - if not impossible to access more recent records - unless they are yours.

Her husband was disappointed there was no snow in Scotland!

There’s a death of a Moira Barclay in this index but I don’t know whether the date fits the scenario. http://ryersonindex.net/search.php
