Hi again Dolphin and Surf,
I have photographs of William, Sarah and Alexander as well as their mother Margaret (MCGAW), (unfortunately none of John Diamond), which I will scan and send when I get a chance, you may see a family resemblance.
Johanna Thomson (b. 1836 Glasgow...father James transported 1836, Moffatt) and William Diamond m. 1860, moving to NZ they lived in Nelson for about 6 years then moved to Rockville Collingwood on the banks of the Aorere river in Golden Bay where William mined his goldminers claim, they had 9 children (including one of Johannas from a previous marriage in Sydney). William and Johanna were both literate and could read and write. Good on the Scots! They both died in old age Rockville. A record of both their lives have published.
Would love to see any photos either of you have. Must go as I have much to do.
regards
Kitty
