Title: Jamieson in St. Ninian's Parish
Post by: Rastro61 on Sunday 01 June 14 19:07 BST (UK)

Good day, recently a distant relative shared information stating family connection to St. Ninian's Parish in Stirling. If anyone shares an interest in or has knowledge of this family I would appreciate your communication. Parents were James and Marion Taylor Jamieson, at least three children Wiiliam, James and Andrew, all of whom emigrated to the United States in mid 19th century. Thank you.

Thank you, Jonn, so very much! I never expected to receive a reply or interest so soon. I wax my understanding father was indeed a nailer so believe this to be the information I was seeking.  I am descendant of Wiiliam Jamieson, my gr gr grandfather. Are you connected in some way or just very familiar with records? In any case your reply is most welcome.
