As I said, my comment about the Armada was a guess and I'm happy to be proved wrong if fanciful! Ray

The Dalgarno(c) name is still in current use in Dumfriesshire but as Gordon said it has a history pre-dating the Armada.  Dalgarnoc has a connection with the Kirkpatrick follower of Bruce and the I'll Mak Siccar story relating to the murder of the Red Comyn in Greyfriar's Kirk in Dumfries. The Kirkpatricks received grants of land from Bruce after he gained the Scottsh throne. There is an old graveyard by that name http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dfsgal/Dalgarnoc/index.htm Today a local choral group in the the town of Thornhill call themselves the Dalgarno Singers. There is a 19th century Spanish connection strangely enough,  when one of the Kirkpatricks of Closeburn Castle established himself as a merchant in Spain and married into Spanish nobility.  This Spanish branch of the family still own the castle but most of the land is now owned by the Buccleugh Estate. Nothing here in the SW to make any connection with your NE Dalgarno family that I can see.
