How do I find out more information on the death of Robert Oades, who I believe died on board the passenger ship 'Largs Bay' sailing back from Australia to the UK in 1933?

Robert Oades was born on 24/11/1893 in Lambeth. He married Ellen Nash in 1921 and they had two children: Jack J b.1922 and Robert W b.1924. They left the UK on the 'Moreton Bay' passenger ship bound for Australia and arrived in Fremantle on 29th June 1928. It looks as though Robert and perhaps all the family came home but I would like to know for certain.

Many thanks.

Jack and Irene had a daughter Sandra in 1943.

Sandra married in 1962 in Richmond, and died in 2006 in Middlesborough.

They're on a tree on Ancestry - though for some reason it says Irene's name was Hayhoe.

The "Largs Bay" records say that Robert Oades, 39, waiter, died of a pulmonary haemorrhage.

There's a note beside his name : B&D form. Landed Suez 5/1/33.

(B&D presumably means Births and Deaths.)

Two other men also died during that voyage.
