Dundas Welsh and Mary Welsh nee Waldock, from Scotland to Melbourne
Rodney53
I am trying to find the name and other details of the ship which brought Dundas Welsh (1824 - 1913) and his wife Mary Welsh, nee Waldock (1835 - 1909) from Scotland to Australia.
Dundas Welsh was born in Bothkennar, Stirlingshire, Scotland.
Mary Waldock was born in Glasgow.
They were married in Australia in 1855. (Given their age difference and marriage in Australia, they may well have eloped). Mary Waldock would have been 20 when she married, so my guess would be they left Scotland in 1854 or 1855, possibly 1853.
I've had no luck finding their ship.

If that's the case you won't find any records. There are only convict records before 1852.
