Diamond Family Glasgow

[ab]

Is anyone able to check out Scotlands  1861 census for a James Diamond [stonemason]  wife Agnes   and children Elizabeth , Mary Ann,  maybe others.      Probably lived Cavendish St. Glasgow.    Thanks   Anne.

Hi

Could you give details of their respective birthyears please and also their birthplaces if known

If you already have them on an earlier or later census - please post full details of that entry

I've checked Scotlands people but have been unable to trace a James Diamond with a wife Agnes and child Mary Ann but there is a Diamond family living at 17 Portugal Street, Hutcheston in the Gorbals area of Glasgow

Manus Diamond, age 48 - hammerman
Agnes Diamond,age 44

Children
Sarah, 16 : Mary Ann, 13 : Eliza,11 : Agnes,8 : Catherine, 6 : John, 3 & Peter 8 Months

Although there are similarities with the family you have listed , given the differences there is also doubt that this is the same family.

Thankyou ever so much for your prompt reply.   These are actually my people. I was deciphering a hard to read marriage transcript,  but having your details I can see that it does look more like "Manus"and not James, as well as hammerman not stonemason as I quoted.   Also Elizabeth Diamond [My G.Grandmother]was married at st. John,s church in Portugal St.   Apart from Mary Ann Diamond [Elizabeths sister] I did not know any other siblings, so a huge thanks for your help. It is so wonderful to gain so much info. in one hit.        Without doubt the best genealogy site on the web.     Regards,  Anne.

here is the same family in the 1851 census living at 2 Edwin Place , Gorbals

Manus Diamond age 38, Blacksmith , born Ireland
Agness Diamond , age 37, born Rothesay Isle of Bute
Charles, age 9 (not in the 1861 census for the family) : Sarah age 6 : Mary Ann age 4 & Elizabeth age 1

Also listed as living with them are there

John McPherson age 60 & Mary McPherson age 74 both are  listed as former paupers from Cowal in Argyll - they would appear to be Agnes's parents as Manus is described as son in law (John McPherson is actually the head of the household and the Diamond family are living with them and not as I had initially presumed)

Hi Anne, my family is descended from Manus/Agnes ->Mary Ann/Robert Hart -> Margaret Hart.  Margaret was born 10/7/1881 in Govan Glasgow, died 18/4/1915.  She married my GGrandfather Lawrence Garvie Cunningham .  Here is a picture of him in the army.  he is sitting front left

I have other information if you want ot compare.

Hello B C,    Thanks so much for your email.   I would be thrilled to gain any information I can  relating to the Diamond clan.   My connection is with Elizabeth ,Manus,s daughter b.2/7/1851. She married Crichton Darroch in Glasgow 1868 and migrated to South  Australia 1885. She died 12/2/1896  in Brompton Sth.Aust.  Do you happen to know where in Ireland  Manus originated? I have a feeling that it was Kilrea,Derry.   Also thank you for the photo.I don,t have any "old"   photos at all,so enjoyed seeing that.
  Thanks again and hope to hear from you again soon.
                                                              Anne.
