Looking for descendants of John DIAMOND & Roseann MURRAY. An extract from the Register of Marriages 1861 - 1921, General Registry Office in Edinburgh indicates that the couple were wed "after the bans according to the forms of the Roman Catholic Church". Twenty-four year old John Diamond, and iron moulder, journey man, was living at 79 Main Street in Glasgow. His father, Andrew Diamond (deceased) was a mason, journeyman. Twenty-four year old Rose Ann Murray, was a cotton yarn winder living at 73 Main Street Glasgow. Her father Peter Murray, a labourer, was also deceased. The minister was John Kerr, R.C.C. of St. John's Chapel, Portugal Street, Gorbals, Glasgow. There was also two witnesses - John Gillian and Mary Cassidy. The marriage was registered on the 9th of September 1862 at Glasgow. Any information about the people or times they lived would be appreciated. machabee@eisa.com

Where have all the people from the Gorbals gone? It looks like everyone I knew left for other places or do not use the Internet. I would be glad to hear from any of you. Please email me at james941@hotmail.com. Thanks

I found your site by sheer luck.... what a bunch of memories for me. I see somebody looking for my boyhood pal, Mick Rushford, and I see messages from an old Adelphi school friend, Jim Calvert...marvellous stuff.

My family originated from 180 Hospital Street where my Ma had a fruit shop on the corner with Cumberland Street...anybody remember it? My brother Davy still lives in Glasgow and I am sure some of you know him. All are welcome to write to me at my email address wgs123@hotmail.com

I stayed in Florence St during the 1950's & 60's. I went to Camden Street School and then on to Adelphi Terrace Secondary School. I am looking for information on Hutchison Town Parish Church.
