Hi Darwin Diamonds,

We are of the same line of Diamonds, and still in the Kirkmaiden area, I have quite a bit of the family tree back to James and Agnes, and got stuck there, as there doesn't seem to be any trace back to, we believe Ireland, it would be really nice to meet you when you come over and perhaps we could show you round. I was born here and stayed, so know the area very well. Look forward to hearing from you again, Regards Dolphin 53

Hi Kitty,
Just a quick note for you. you say in an earlier post of a Margaret McGaw, if she was from Kirkmaiden and you have any follow ups on that line I may just have come across some very old photos from about 1900. There were loads of McGaw's in that area at that time though. Any good? Let me know.
Regards.

Hi again svsurf02, thanks for your reply, it really did tickle the tastebuds today, I tried getting more info on my ggg grandfather, William born 1829, (brother of Dr James), he appears to have been a bit of a jack the lad. He partnered a Jessie Rodgers and fathered a son, yet another William my gg grandfather, but I cannot find when he went to Australia, incidently leaving Jessie behind, would you happen to have any more info on that at all, I'd appreciate your help if you had. If and when you are a bit easier at work let me know and I'll give you my email address if you want and perhaps from there could possibly arrange a chat?
Kind regards,
Dolphin53.

hi svsurf 02,

It was good to hear from you, and to confirm for me about the doctor part of it, I thought it was.
Your 2nd post asks about family still in the area, well, I am in the Kirkmaiden area and have been for 33 years, though under my married name, I have an older brother (Diamond) still living in the "Inch" parish of Wigtownshire who has 4 grown up kids all married. I have a younger brother married with 2 grown up kids living in Portpatrick and the youngest brother again married with 2 kids lives approx. 10 miles north of Stranraer, oh and not forgetting an aunt, my fathers sister, in Stranraer itself.  Unfortunately I lost my father in August of 1999 and my mother 5 years prior and my eldest brother almost 6 years ago, but yes there are still quite a few of us around the area. I haven't been doing my family tree for very long and due to other stuff going on I haven't done much lately but i hope to continue with it quite soon. but in the meantime I would really like to keep in touch with you, hope you feel the same.
Kind regards,
Dolphin53.

Hi svsurf 02,
Nice to hear from you, you are of the same line as myself by all accounts. my brother, father and grandfather all carried on the name William. I have copies of births deaths and marriages on the Diamond and Addies relationship, it would be interesting to know how far you have got with it all.
That particular William was my gr8 gr8 grandfather. As far as I can gather their son James could possibly have been a doctor, but I want to confirm this.
Look forward to hearing from you again.
Kind regards,
Dolphin 53.

Hi Kitty,
further to my last post, I thought I'd put in that John had a sister, Mary, who was christened in May 1806 but she died in 1807. I don't know if that is any help to you.
Regards,

Hi Kitty,
Got your message, you say about John Diamond and Margaret, yes they are in my family research but I am a direct descendant of William, son of James and Agnes and William was John's brother. It would be good to hear from you again.
Regards,
Dolphin.
