John O'kane & Susan Diamond

[rhk001]

Hello, I am pretty new to this,

I picked up a family tree from a relative of mine (Not sure how accurate it is though) it goes back to the two names.

John O'kane (of Gortmacrane, Kilrea) Married Susan Diamond (Of Tamney Ranking, Swatragh) - They were married at around 1840.

My Direct line then follows this path from
John & Susan >
Joseph Kane & Mary Curran (or O'Curnin) >
Joesph & Rose Mcgarry
Henry John Kane & Vera Colins (Henry Born around 1918, Died 1998 (Rugby)) Lived in Greenoch
Joseph Peter Kane
Robert Kane (born in South Africa)

It would be great to find anyone else on here who may have a link to my tree. Please get in touch.

Welcome to Rootschat. Gortmacrane (Tamlaght O'Crilly civil parish) is outside Kilrea and Tamneyrankin (Desertoghill Parish) is near Garvagh. O'Kane/Kane and Diamond are both very common surnames in the area.

Added- there were still Kanes and O'Kanes in Gortmacrane townland at the time of the 1901 census but no Diamonds in Tamneyrankin-

Thanks Very much for your reply, I have traced John to being born in Gortmacrane & dying in Drumgarner in 1866 ( I have a copy of his deat certificate).

I suspect that Susan Diamond was actually from Glasgow & not Ireland as i was told. she moved to Scotland after the death of John, and there is also a cenus report from Scotland which seems to fit!.

I am really interested in trying to find more relationships with John, either parents or Siblings, I cant seem toget much more out of Ancestory.co.uk

Other than transcripts of Scottish census records there will probably be little to help you on Ancestry.

I am a descendant of John Kane and Susan Diamond.  You seem to know more about their Irish background than I do, but I know a fair amount about those of their children who made it to Scotland (including Joseph Kane and Mary Curran).  Get in touch if you want to compare notes.  I think there's a way of sending personal messages through this site but I haven't worked out how to do it yet!

Best wishes

Yes, they are my GGG-grandparents.  If you're researching them too, please send me a personal message and we can exchange data.
