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

Doplhin and Surf,
Further to my posting:
*Sarah, Richard and 2 sons and her sister *Margaret (19years) arrived in Sydney on the Walmer Castle 1848,
*William and *Alexander were both mariners, before settling down. NOt sure of Alexanders ship but my William was on the Prince Alfred.

Hi Dolphin and Surf,
Wow this is so fantastic! I have been watching your posts with interest, while dealing with family medical emergencies with both husband and daughter hospitalized a week apart but both now doing well, preventing my contribution.
It appears both our families were settling in Australia at similar times, while my
*William...having married in Sydney in 1860 was settling in NZ, his siblings
*Alexander.......desc in Newcastle today whom I am in touch with
*Margaret...... (m. William Elliot in Sydney 1854) was establishing in NSW
*Sarah.... whilst probably started out in Sydney with husband Richard Russell went to Brisbane, desc I am also in touch with.
I wonder if they knew each other? I am very interested in your Dr William who supposedly came to Auckland where I live and will follow up on as soon as I am able but it may not be for a while as we are going to be on holiday from the 13th for a month, therefore Im rather bogged down with preparations for that. will do my best to get on to it when I get back.
regards

Hi Dolphin,
Thanks for replying I am so pleased to hear from you as we are distant cousins same generation? not sure about that but John your Williams brother was my 3xggrandfather. Have you been able to go back any further than James and Agnes? We believe they came over from Ireland, is that your belief as well? Bonus is you live in Scotland. What can you tell me about the family where did they all go? My branch of course went to Australia and NZ via London and West Indies. I have been to Scotland but not since we found they came from Kirkmaiden, one day maybe Ill get there again.
kind regards
Kitty
