Hi

She emigrated to Australia but I cannot say when and she died in 19xx. How can I find her marriage records to add her spouse to it as i am not on world wide ancestory.

Ancestry are offering free access to immigration records at the moment - until 17th March.

Best wishes,
Meg

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
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx

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!

A Mrs. M. P. N. Barclay, stenographer, departed London 14 January, 1955, on board the Orion, bound for Melbourne. Also on board was a Mr. J. K. B. Barclay, clerk, of similar age, and a Mr. H. Barclay, born 1899. Address in the UK given as 48 Bravington Road, Maida Vale, London, W.9.

The images are on Ancestry via the freebie mentioned by Meg.

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
