Eliza GEDDES b 1895 Glasgow

According to family lore, as the rebellious 'black sheep' of the family, Eliza(beth) GEDDES, b 5 Mar 1895 Kelvin District in Glasgow d/o Peter GEDDES & Hannah PRESTON, ran away to Australia with a man, after a family falling out, never to be heard of again - even though she was in her father's Will of 1925 and it's likely it's her Bible that I now possess. In 1911 she was a Clerkess at a Solicitors. Nothing else found later in Scotland; nor anything in Australia, although there is a record of Miss E Geddes age 20 arriving Aug 1915 on board 'Levuka'.

Unsure as to how far true this story is.
