Hi Vickie

These are the children showing for James and Agnes Smith, from IGI:

1. ANNE DIAMOND  Christening: 09 SEP 1802 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
2. HUGH DIAMOND Christening: 17 JUN 1786 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
3. JAMES DIAMOND Christening: 08 MAR 1793 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
4. MARY DIAMOND Christening: 03 MAY 1806 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
5. JEAN DIAMOND Christening: 16 OCT 1795 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
6. WILLIAM DIAMOND Christening: 14 MAY 1797 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
7. JOHN DIAMOND Christening: 17 OCT 1784 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland
8. JOHN DIAMOND Christening: 14 JUN 1800 Kirkmaiden By Drummore, Wigtown, Scotland

In respect of the two John entries (7/8), likely the first died and they used the name again.

Regards.

The earliest birth showing here is 1784 with the first John. Given their birth years,(c. 1750s?) they do not show in the first census that is relevant for genealogical purposes, the 1841 Census.

There is no marriage showing for them on Scotlands People. There is a submitted entry for what looks like their marriage perhaps in Ireland:

ANN SMYTH     Marriages:Spouse: JAMES DYMON    
Marriage:  29 DEC 1787  Donaghadee, Down, Ireland

Agnes & Ann are variants. The dates are slightly out if they are the same couple given they were already having children in Scotland by 1784. But if the right couple, at least you have some indication as to where they may have come from in Ireland to follow up on.

thanks for the info and the quick response...looks very like my family and apparently both were born in Ireland and migrated to Scotland so that sort of fits as well....
