I don't believe the Mission was instrumental in the emigrations, although a common thread was the families' Methodism. My great grandfather was sponsored by two ex Broomhill residents, Walter and John Arnott (Togston Terrace).
The Arnotts and their extended family had gone to Western Australia in 1906. Their daughter Margaret was married to William Slater!
There must have been ongoing correspondence between the Arnotts and the Beverleys if they sponsored them in 1913. The local newspapers were pushing emigration to Australia and Canada too.
The local newspaper article in 1906 stated that the Arnotts were responding to the "Westralian" government's opening up of new districts in small blocks to "suit the enterprising colonist."
