Thank you Skoosh for this bit of information. What a history tied in with the naming of a ship.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: "Ballangeich" - Passenger Lists

I found a passenger list for 1851 on the Trove Online Digitised Newspapers.
The Ballengeich left Plymouth 25th May 1851 and arrived in Melbourne 20th August 1851. It was published in The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957)  Thu 21 Aug 1851  Page 2
There is a passenger list on the following website:
trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/4779933/505881
The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) - Mon 1 Sep 1851 - Page 2 - SHIPS' MAILS, says there were 112 intermediate passenger plus the cabin passengers. I have counted 84 adults (husbands & wives) but the number of children are not listed.
The Ballengeich then sailed for Adelaide on 29th August arriving in Adelaide 22nd September 1851.
Hope this is helpful.
