The number of ancestors emigrating
I have a family the Arthur Family

Martin Arthur 1869 Scotland 1938 Australia
wife Ann E Thomson 1882-1965 they had several children I've got that the ones upto 1911 were born in Midlothian Scotland , I think they had a son in 1914 Australia Robert Moore Arthur

So possibly emigrated between 1911-1914 as yet not found when they did emigrate
If possible I'd like to fill in the gaps I know 4 of the 5 children married but I don't know when or where

Thank you

I'm not seeing their marriage in Scotland/England/Wales.

Is this the family in 1901 ??? though the YOB's don't match what you say:

What were the names of Martin and Ann's children, please?

Can you post a census you've found them on? I'm not seeing them in Scotland at all.
Where in Scotland was Martin born?

ADDED:
This is the only Martin Arthur birth in Scotland 1868-70:

ARTHUR
MARTIN
M
1868
644/4 31
Calton (Glasgow)

they married 1901 I think it was Edinburgh I've got the marriage of another tree and it isn't very good, Robert Moore Arthur I've got he married a Mavis so that sounds right
Just noticed the other answer it looks as though they had a family

Ancestry seems to think this is that Martin in 1871:

How sure are you of the names and birth years

Robert Moore was born in Edinburgh, not Australia, as already stated in his WW2 Service Record posted above.

His birth:

ARTHUR
ROBERT MOORE
M
1914
685/4 576
St Giles


Are you sure he is the son of Martin and Ann(ie) ?

If he is, they didn't emigrate until 1914 at earliest.

The Robert Moore who travelled to Tasmania with Olive in 1953 - which I posted earlier, isn't the Robert born in Edinburgh - unless the YOB is wrong on this travel record:
