Hazel- it's really, really annoying when we spend time searching for and posting information for someone and then find that they already have, or have been given, the details.
You have numerous posts on the Diffin family online and much of what you are posting is incorrect, possibly based on family stories. Not only are you making extra work for us but you seem to be confusing yourself as well. It would be a good idea to stop and take a look at all the information you already have- stories, documents, etc.- before asking for help. The more organised your notes are the easier it will be for you to see what you have and what information you should be searching for now.
