Hence my visit to Longford Heritage Centre was to establish if there were possibly connections in the parish that touched on that border. Matty Dymond married Martin Cassidy in approximately 1830. I have established that Dymond/Dimond and Cassidy are both Longford names, and there were many Cassidys in the parish that borders on Co Leitrim. Dymond/Dimond is not a common name in Ireland. Apart from that I have made no definite breakthroughs, but need to do more work. An old 1823 or 33 census for the parish which still exists has one Dymond family in Gortermone, who would doubtless be connected with my line, but have so far been unable to work out what that connection is, as the husband was either dead or away from home on the day of the census. Keep in touch.

My Diamonds came from Ballybrien, Granard. My gt gt grandfather was a James Diamond who settled in Ontario, Canada and his daughter Elizabeth (Eliza) married Smyth Cooke (Leitrim T) and was my gt grandmother. I have written to Longford Roots just this week and hope to get more information. David Leahy has been very kind and helpful. You are my second contact this week and I am thrilled to finally get some results. Will be glad to share results from Heritage Center when they reply. An earlier James Diamond was on the flax growers. Would like to hear from you. Janis E. Ulstein (Jan) e-mail: ulsteinj@juno.com or: janisulstein@hotmail.com ______________________________
