Found this possibility, but I can not view the actual record and there are 2 "Mr" ; 1 "Mrs" ; 1 Master & 1 "Miss" on the same voyage.
I can not tell who is connected to whom...

Port of Departure: London
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 19 Apr 1920

Found this birth, in Victoria Australia...

Dora Alice Selina b. 1920 Sth Melbourne (Reg. No. - 33315)
Father .. Stephen
Mother .. Dora Body

Looks like she gave her previous surname, instead of her maiden name again.

However, if Stephen was born in England Q3 1919 and Dora born in Australia in 1920, there is just a small 'gap' between births for them to immigrate.

Researching:
Ablett, Baldwin, Coombe, Daniels, Edkins, Pascoe, Prowse, Seager

They reg Stephen with mmn as Body guess it may have been how the registrar asked what her previous surname was !!

Births Sep 1919

Wright Stephen H D mmn Body Sheppey 2a 1612

Cant see any later births so they may have emigrated with just Stephen and the other children were born in Australia
