Nairnshire / Re: Nairn Lifeboat
« on: Thursday 24 February 11 20:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, Sorry for the slow reply, 

My Great Grandfathers name was Isaac Jamieson, his father was father was John Jamieson (b. 1865) and his father was John Jamieson "Joe" (b. 1832). They lived on King Street

John (b. 1865) had at least two brothers  - Alexander Jamieson "Joe" (b. 1860) and William Jamieson (b. 1872)

John (b. 1832) also had at least two brothers - Alexander (b. 1829), Daniel (b. 1839). 

The newspaper article simply says "having been related to the first coxswain" - I was hoping to be able to find which family member this was, even just a name, date of birth, or where they lived etc might help a little!

Thanks

Nairnshire / Nairn Lifeboat

I have done a lot of the basic research on my family history in Nairn, and I'm now trying to fill in all the blanks.  According to a newspaper article I have my great grandfather was related to the first coxswain of the nairn lifeboat.  Does anyone know where I can find information about the lifeboat, who the crew were etc?

Thanks

Nairnshire / Noted in Passing - Nairnshire Telegraph
« on: Tuesday 12 October 10 23:40 BST (UK)  »
According to my great grandfathers obituary he often submitted articles to the Narisnhire Telegraph "Noted in Passing" section about his memories of Nairn.  I recently travelled up to Nairn to do some family history research but only had a day to spend there and didn't have enough time to look through many of the old Nairnshires on microfilm in the library.  I understand they are only held in the British Library in London and in the Nairn library, and unfortunately I'm no where near either .

If anyone is looking at the old Nairnshire's in the library and they stumble across an article by Isaac Jamieson (from his obituary it sounds as if he was a well respected lay preacher in the area) would you be so kind as to forward the details on?

Thankyou
