Hi Helen-darleen
There are 2 births showing on Scotland's People for Fred* Waldie 1880-1890. They are both in 1884 which would roughly correspond with his age at death.
One is in Lochee, Angus; the other Tradeston, Glasgow.
The birth certificates would give the parents names, and where and when they were married.
In trying to pin down when he arrived in Australia I did a search and found this:

I don't know how to tell if it is your Frederick Waldie or not!
Hope this helps

Hello fellow Waldie researchers!
I too am trying to fnd Waldie information.
My gggg grandmother, Isabella Waldie b. 1828 Dalkeith, Edinburgh married Oliver Isa Lees b. 1831 Dalkeith, Edinburgh, only children I know of are son, Oliver Lees b. 1848 Dalkeith, Edinburgh and daughter Elizabeth b. 1851 Dalkeith, Edinburgh
Does anyone know when and where Isabella and Oliver were married? I am guessing Dalkeith after 1841 but before 1851 where I found them on the 1851 Census living at Anderson's Close No. 14, Cowgate, Edinburgh.
Did Isabella Waldie and Oliver Lees have any more children? I can't find them after 1851, however, I think Oliver died before 1859 because I think I found Isabella married to a John Hunter on 13 December 1859 at Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh and she then has a daughter Elysia Hunter, age 2 in 1861 born Church, Twn, Edinburgh.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
