Argyllshire / Re: Livingstone to Australia (Hugh McDiarmid Livingstone)

Hi David G (and other contributors)
I have stumbled across this forum by accident and it has answered something that has been driving me crazy.
Hugh McDiarmid was my Great Grandfather. All of our family records said that he came out on the SS Loch Gary and I have been going crazy trying to find the immigration records relating to this. I had almost reached the conclusion that he was either a stowaway or he swam out.
Saw your posting dated 15 Aug 07. Put in Loch Ryan into the Vic Unassisted Passenger index and up pops Hugh Livingston, right age but no "e" - but I'll take that. Only question is, what was the source of your info on the ship being the Loch Ryan?
??
So where do I fit in.
Hugh McDiarmid's second child, Alexander Hugh, was my grandfather. David Charles, Hugh's fourth child was affectionately known by all the family as Uncle Dave and his wife, Aunt Laura was your grandmothers sister. Uncle Dave and Aunt Laura had no children. They both lived at Cooksley St Hamilton Brisbane until their deaths - Uncle Dave on 07 Mar 1966, Aunt Laura on?? Uncle Dave did not die in Kingaroy. We have a copy of Aunt Laura's will. Your grandmother must have been Evelyn Jane (mentioned in the will)
I think you can forget about trying to link Hugh McDiarmid to Dr David. If it exists at all, it is probably a number of generations prior.
I still have to go through all the information that has been posted on this forum and try to fit it into what I now have on the family tree. We have the names and b'days of Hugh McDiarmids siblings.
I would love to hear back from anyone with further information on this side of the family.
