Livingstone to Australia (Hugh McDiarmid Livingstone)

[OnEaglesWings]

I now have further information for that may help.  I am told by a relative that Hugh McDermott Livingstone (not the spelling as I have also McDiarmid) was born 14 Nov 1854 and arrived in Melborne 1879 on the Lock Bary. 

My research has not found anything on Lock Bary as I hoped 

Anyway I am still digging.

Did your relative specify where the "Lock Bary" information is from?

Scotland's People has a Hugh LIVINGSTONE baptised 13 Dec 1854 in Tobermory, Argyllshire - parents Hugh and Flora (no maiden name given in the index for Flora).  I tried to view the associated image in hopes of finding that out, but SP has linked the index entry to the wrong page, so I've just written off to them to get my 5 credits back, and to direct me to the correct page! 

Anyway, the same Hugh LIVINGSTONE is shown on FamilySearch.org.

Some updated information, with thanks to a Rootschat member in the Chat room.

Hugh's parents are Hugh (or sometimes seen as Ewin) Livingstone and Catherine McDiarmid (Hugh's middle name). Other details of parents unknown. Hugh had a brother Angus born 22/12/1844 (yet to be confirmed but more than likely possible.

Hugh come to Australia on the ship Loch Ryan (not Loch Barry) and arrived in Melbourne.

Hugh died: 18 May 1937, Kingaroy, Queensland Rego:  1937/002029
Father:  Hugh
Mother: Catherine McDIARMID

I am still trying to link them to Dr David Livingstone.   Getting closer but.

Thanks, in advance. for anyones help.

Thank you David for keeping me updated.

May I ask where the GIBSONs fit into the LIVINGSTONE/McDIARMID Tree?

Every best wish for success in your further research into the bowels of Africa.

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.

Hi Terry and welcome to RootsChat 

I don't have any relationships with the Livingstone family - just wanted to say hello - I'm sure the others will be along shortly when they see your post.
