Also, Joseph lied about his age - he was born on the 14th May 1899 so he was just shy of his 19th birthday when he died

YES - I HAVE COPIES OF THEIR ARMY CARDS AND PHOTOS OF THEIR GRAVES. JOSEPH WAS BURIED IN A FAMLY PLOT BOUGHT BY ROSEANNE AFTER MICHAEL DIED - THERE ARE ABOUT 8 BURIED IN IT.

Just wondering if you ever succeeded in you quest for info re Isabella Diamond and parents . I ask this because I am also descended from Michael and Roseanne and still live in Portrush. I have examined all our Church of Ireland records and have birth dates and deaths for all entered. Isabella had a brother Joseph who was my great grandfather - he and his eldest son both died in WWI in 1917 - 6 weeks apart. If you are still searching I will get my records out. FYI - Lower Kerr Street = Albert Place = Quarry Court. The rock was quarried out of the hillside to help build the harbour amongst other things and was known as Quarry Court because of this. The houses in it were built in 1860 - hence the Albert Place but it eventually became known by the Poat Office as Lower Kerr Street and by the locals as Quarry Court - both these names were used alongside each other. The houses were demolished a few years ago - I have photos before they were knocked down. Nothing has been built in their place and you can still see the tiled outline of the floorplans. At one time there were Diamonds in 3 of the little houses
