Hi Cloin
Saw your post, yes agree your timeline looks a bit confusing. William Diamond married Elizabeth Addies in 1816.
They had two John Diamonds (gather first one deceased and reused name)
John Diamond (1832-1919) immigrated to Australia and was married to Mary Anne Little -so he doesn't fit into your info as you had a John marrying an Elizabeth Caldwell???
John did have brother William (1829-1891) however he also immigated to Australia though did have a previous marriage (Helen Cairns)and another relationship (Jessie Rogers) prior to coming to Australia- so again not liking up with your info.
I do like a mystery so i'll have a look around yo see if I can find a link and let you know

Hi Dolphin53
Looking like being in your area around the 27/28th August and staying for a few day so would be great to catch up. Not too sure how to get an email or other contact means via this site/ ?
Re your William Diamond do you have any idea roughly when he came to Australia, have found several William Diamonds immigrating over many years? Happy to explore further

Hi Dolphin 53
Great to hear from you. We are heading over to the UK in early August and plan to drive around for a month or so. We were including a week in Ireland and planned to return to Scotland on the ferry into Stranraer, which I gather is around the area where the Diamonds reside. Would be great to catch up as we were planning on visiting many of the places named in histories. I should be able to narrow down the dates soon and will let you know. Thanks for replying and hopefully we will see you soon
Cheers Darwin Diamonds

Hi
Found this site by acident and was interested in the Agnes and James correspondence. My husband Michael Diamond is also a direct descendant of James Diamond (1764) via son William (1797), his son John (1832), his son John (1865), his son John (1890) and his son Stephen (1925) who is still alive and well. We live in Darwin Australia and are heading over to the UK, including Scotland in August this year. We are planning on spending sveral days in the Wigtownshire area and were interested if any of the Diamond relatives were still there? Also any pointers on exploring the area, we have names of relevant  farms, cemeteries churches etc.
