COMPLETED - Margaret Jamison - NSW - Pre 1857
« on: Tuesday 08 July 08 01:53 BST (UK) »

I am looking for a Margaret Jamison, who came to Australia, before 1857.

Margaret JAMISON was listed as being an aunt to
John MORRISON, b 1839 Redcastle, Ross, Scotland, who arrived in NSW Australia
in 1857 on the "Admiral Lyons"

I have no information on her.

I do know that John was a stockman, in Australia, and was in Western NSW. On the shipping list he stated where his aunt was living, but it is not clear and the spelling does not match anywhere on a map. I am assuming it's a country town. Unfortunately, the document is in Scotland, so I can't list the spelling, at this time.

I checked BDM and there is only one Margaret Jamison married in 1860s. I seem to recall I got the certificate and it stated she was born in Ireland. If I do recall correctly, then it surely isn't John's 'aunt'.

Hello  there

Is  it possible  that  Margaret Jamison  was  her married name?

regards Jenn

edited in  by Jenn......there is a death for a  Margaret E Jamison  listed on  the NSW deaths in 1921 which would probably be too old

Greetings,

Yes, it is possible.

Her surname could also have been, Jamieson/Jameson

This may be one of those things never to be discovered.  Cry

There's a Margaret Jamieson (or Jameson) who arrived as an assisted immigrant on the Shamboul in 1854.

Only problem is that she was born c. 1830, probably a little late. Still, a possibility?

Greetings,

Yes, that's the one I have and she has a son, Samuel. It would make sense that John came out after she set up.

How one finds out, I do not know.  Cry

Thanks for your assistance.

J.
