Hi, Brenda.
As I mentioned above, I had a file that seems to have disappeared. Possibly saved onto an old disc. Some months ago, I attempted the beginnings of a larger, African file as some of these families seem to be connected to those I am interested in. The notes I have for the three families you mention are pasted in below. In would send it to you directly, but apparently your e-mail address is not available here, and one must pay a fee in order to get in touch. If you go to:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/canada/newbrunswick/
you should find one of my posts without mucxh trouble. By clicking on my name, in one of these postings, you should find a 'masked' version of my e-mail address, and be able to contacxt me directly. I would be particularly interested in anything you can add.

DYMOND

CHARLES WOODFORD DYMOND b. 1920, d. 1981, bur. St. Peter’s Anglican Church Cem., York Co., NB, m. Woodstock, Carleton Co., NB 26MAY1945 FLORENCE MAY HOWE (b. 1926.)
children:
1. TERRENCE (TERRY) PERCY DYMOND b. 1952, d. 1985, bur. St. Peter’s Anglican Church Cem., York Co., NB

ELIZABETH DIAMOND b. ca. 1861.
In Queens Ward, Fredericton, York Co., NB in 1881, a servant to Bridget Bryson, a widow running a grocery store.

ELIZABETH DIAMOND
A ‘little colored girl’ died in small pox hospital in Saint John, NB 22OCT1879. Her mother and sister were still ill.

ELIZABETH DIAMOND b. 6FEB1868 (FEB1865 in 1911), d. Carleton Co., NB 27NOV1935, m. 1st Carleton Co., NB 1SEP1900 JAMES TRAMLEY (b. 10JUL1848, d. 27MAY1907 age 58 years, bur. Lower Brighton Cem., Carleton Co., NB), s/o Tusau (Tusaw) and Mary A. Tramley; m. 2nd Carleton Co., NB 28SEP1909 THOMAS S. CREATH (b. ME SEP1859), s/o Thomas and Ann M. Creath.
They were in Brighton Parish, Carleton Co., NB in 1901 and with her 2nd husband in 1911.
Elizabeth may be Elizabeth DIAMOND b. ca. 1865, d/o John W. Diamond of St. Leonard, Madawaska Co., NB in 1881.
In 1880, Thomas lived with his parents in Lubec, Washington Co., ME. His father was b. Ireland and his mother was b. NB.
Elizabeth may be the Elizabeth DIAMOND b. ca. 1866, a domestic to Henry and Adelia Birmingham in Wakefield Parish, Carleton Co., NB in 1891. If so, she was b. NB as was her father, but her mother was b. PEI. This sort of suggests a connection to William DIAMOND b. PEI ca. 1843, parents b. England; but William and Eliza (b. ca. 1843) had a daughter, Lizzy (b. ca. 1881) as well as a son, William (b. ca. 1877) in the 1891 census of Woodstock.

children:
1. JANE DIAMOND b. ca. 1845

JACOB DIAMOND, m. MATILDA WEARY (b. ca. 1856; m. 1st Douglas Parish Anglican Church, York Co., NB 25DEC1872 George Kendall), d/o David and Margaret (Gardiner) Weary.
Matilda, a widow, lived with David and Margaret ‘Wory’ (Weary/Wheary) in Bright Parish, York Co., NB in 1881; and may have been their daughter. In fact, this appears to be the case as George Kendle m. Douglas Parish Anglican Church, York Co., NB 25DEC1872 ‘Mahilda Werry’. George was of Queensbury Parish, and ‘Mahilda’ of Douglas Parish.
Her children by her first marriage were:
WINSLOW KENDAL b. ca. 1874
TRACY KENDALL b. ca. 1875
children:
1. MARGARET LAVINIA DIAMOND b. Fredericton, York Co., NB 15MAR1886

JACOB HIRAM DIAMOND b. 20APR1847 (1858 on headstone), d. 1912, bur. Methodist Cem., Carleton Co., NB, m. Free Baptist Parsonage, Houlton, Aroostook Co., ME by the Rev. J. E. Gosline 29NOV1890 MARTHA A. GODFREY (b. 13OCT1858), d/o Charles and Florence (DeBois) Godfrey.
In 1901, they are in Woodstock, Carleton Co., NB as:

56 DUBOIS Ellen FB head w 17 Sep 1834 66 Eng 1860 Eng Can C/Eng
DIAMOND Hiram MB head m 20 Apr 1847 53 NB Eng Can Meth labourer
DIAMOND Martha FB wife m 13 Oct 1858 42 NB Eng Can Meth
DIAMOND Mariam FB dau s 5 Apr 1892 9 NB Eng Can Meth
NELSON Howard MB boarder s Aug 1860 40 NB Eng Can Meth labourer

That Ellen DuBois (DeBois?) was b. in England may be possible, but the ‘FB’ indicates she is female and of African descent. She apparently arrived in NB in 1860. That Hiram, also African, was b. NB seems reasonable, but that he was English seems difficult to accept. Both Ellen and Hiram are given as head-of-household.
In the 1871 census of Woodstock Henry DeBois, b. NB ca. 1811, is African and a carpenter. His wife, Ellen was b. England ca. 1836 and was said to be, “ . . . over 20 and unable to read or write”; and children were: Sarah A. (b. ca. 1859), Mary E. (b. ca. 1861), William H. (b. ca. 1862) and Randolph (b. ca. 1864.) Sarah A. is indicated as b. England, suggesting that Henry went to England, married and brought his wife and child home about 1859-60. The suggestion is that Martha was the d/o Henry and Ellen DeBois, but she does not appear with them in the 1871 or 1881 census, for example. In 1881, she appears to be the d/o Charles and Florence Godfrey. It is possible that Florence was a DeBois, possibly even Henry’s sister; thus Ellen DeBois was her aunt. In fact, Charles Godfrey’s death notice states he married ‘Miss DuBoice’.
Jacob H. Dymond b. 1858, d. 1912, bur. Methodist Cem., Carleton Co., NB, m. Free Baptist Parsonage, Houlton, Aroostook Co., ME by the Rev. J. E. Gosline 29NOV1890 Martha A. (or M.) Godfrey, d/o Charles Godfrey. Both were of Woodstock. A daughter was Miriam E. Dymond b. 1896, d. 1925, bur. Methodist Cem., Carleton Co., NB. Martha’s mother. Mrs. Godfrey, widow of the late Charles Godfrey, d. 20MAY1900 age 80 years. She left one daughter, Mrs. Jacob DIAMOND. (‘The Press’, 28MAY1900.) Charles Godfrey may be the same b. ca. 1806, living with James DeBois in Woodstock Parish, Carleton Co., NB in 1851. Thus Jacob H. and Hiram appear to be the same person.
In the same, 1901 census, nearby, was the household of Frederick (26AUG1836) and Sarah (13APR1846) DuBois. I suspect that Frederick was the brother of Ellen’s deceased husband. Frederick was a s/o James DeBois (b. ca. 1811), with whom Charles Godfrey lived in 1851. Also nearby were:

55 WINSLOW Alfred MB head m 31 Jul 1847 53 NB African Can Bapt labourer
WINSLOW Sarah FB wife m 24 Nov 1858 42 Eng 1859 Eng Can Bapt hairdresser
WINSLOW Gertrude FB dau s 4 Jan 1879 22 NB African Can Meth

WINSLOW Edward MB son s 20 Dec 1892 8 NB African Can Meth
WINSLOW Alice FB dau s 20 May 1896 5 NB African Can Meth

Sarah Winslow shares many of the bits of information that Ellen does, and seems to have been Ellen DuBois’ sister. That Sarah arrived in NB from England in 1859 only indicates that the arrival dates are approximations, and that the arrived ca. 1859-60. In 1881, in Woodstock, Alfred was Fairfax Winslow b. ca. 1846, Sarah was b. NB ca. 1859, and Alfred/Fairfax was the s/o Joseph Winslow (b. ca. 1813.)
children:
1. MIRIAM E. DIAMOND b. 5APR1892 (1896 on headstone), d. 1925, bur. Methodist Cem., Carleton Co., NB

JAMES DYMOND b. Fredericton, York Co., NB ca. 1827, d. 12DEC1902 age 74 years

JAMES DIMOND/DYMOND b. NB JAN1838 (ca. 1839), m. Christ Church Cathedral, Fredericton, NB by W. Q. Ketchum 14AUG1853 MARTHA HOPE (b. 17MAR1837 (NB ca. 1841).)
Both were of Fredericton when married.
In Kings Ward, Fredericton, York Co., NB in 1881.
In Queens Ward, Saint John, Saint John Co., NB in 1901. No children with them. Nearby was George Hope b. 1841; possibly Martha’s brother. On 4JUL1887, Richard Hope of Rodney St., Carleton, Saint John Co., NB reported that he was over 100 years of age, b. near Gagetown, Queens Co., NB and had had 15 children.
children:
1. LEAH DIMOND b. ca. 1866

In Bright Parish, York Co., NB in 1881, living with David and (Gardiner) Margaret Weary/Wheary. Perhaps Melissa was their daughter. Both, when married, were from Bright Parish.
children:
1. FORD DIAMOND b. ca. 1877.
Ford is also indicated as Ford Blanchard Clark, s/o William Henry and Jane (Gordon) Clark; and that he changed his name.
2. JOSEPHINE DIAMOND b. ca. 1880

MARGARET JANE DYMOND b. ca. 1860, m. FRANCIS WHEARY b. ca. 1842 (ca. 1855 in 1881), s/o George and Sarah Wheary.

RICHARD DIMOND b. NB ca. 1852-8, m. ELIZABETH _____ (b. NB ca. 1858.)
In Kings Ward, Fredericton, York Co., NB in 1881.
In 1891, Richard was a hostler in Woodstock, Carleton Co., NB. He is given as b. NB, and parents b. England. He appears to have been in charge of, or to have owned, a fairly large establishment, probably a hotel, as he employed many persons, and had several lodgers. A variation of the relative census entries appears as:

135 DIAMOND, Richard M 39 M NB Eng Eng Meth hostler

Included in the family is a widow, Sarah DIAMOND b. ca. 1834. She is listed as ‘M’, under relationship, presumably for mother. She also was b. NB, with parents b. England; which is a bit confusing.
children:
1. ELLEN (MAY in 1891) DIMOND b. ca. 1877
2. VIOLET DIMOND b. ca. 1879-81.
Violet may be the Violet A. Dymond who m. Saint John Co., NB 9JAN1901 Joseph McAleer, and had a son, Herbert Robinson McAleer, b. Saint John, Saint John Co., NB 1FEB1904; and a daughter, Frances Marion McAleer b. Saint John, Saint John Co., NB 25JUL1906.

When married, Richard was of Woodstock and Annie of Gagetown.
ANNIE DIAMOND b. Fredericton, York Co., NB ca. 1869, d. 2MAY1919 age 50 years.
Diamond may have been her married name.
