World War One / Frederick John Beer CORP 2ND BATT,NTH LANC REGT
« on: Friday 18 September 09 10:47 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I wonder could anybody give  me any information about this Corporal please, or where to find some information? He was in 2ND BATT,NTH LANC REGT. He married my great grandfather's sister in 1891 in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh N.Ireland. He was 22 at that time . She was Annie Elizabeth Quinn and was also 22 in 1891. She was in the 1911 census living with her father Patrick Quinn at Lisbellaw. I think this post is in the wrong place as he was serving before the 1st world war but I wasn't sure where to put it. Sorry.

Derry (Londonderry) / Jamieson?Jamison Waterside Londonderry
« on: Saturday 05 September 09 05:43 BST (UK)  »
Hello, This is my first post here, although I have read many message and think this site is just wonderful and the moderators are spectacular!

I am researching my Jamieson/Jamison family from the Waterside area of Londonderry. David Alexander Jamieson was  b 1891. His father was Thomas Jamieson who married Minnie (Mary) Campbell also 1891, 2nd Presbyterian Church Gllendermott. Thomas' father was John James Jamison ( variant in spelling). He was married to Sarah Steel. John James was also father to Martha Jamieson (who married Alexander Jamieson 1889 also at 2nd Presbyterian Church Glendermott)  and Andrew Jamieson. I would love to know if anybody has any information on Jamiesons in the Waterside or Londonderry in general. Because Thomas and Minnie died whilst my grandfather David was very young,( i.e about 8 years old), there has been a breakdown in passing on family information. Since I live in Australia now what is the easiest way to access a birth cert for John James please?

I believe there may be a connection with Jamieson's from the Eglinton area also but have not proved this as yet.

I have discovered that John James Jamieson was also the father of William John Jamieson  who married Eliza Mary Hunter in 1886. William was a clerk at that time and Eliza Mary Hunter was a teacher. Eliza Mary's father was William Henry Hunter. John James Jamieson was listed as a clerk also on the marriage record  and William henry Hunter was a farmer.

In the 1911 census I see that William John Jamieson was a widower and was father of Sara Jamieson aged 23, William Hunter Jamieson aged 19 and John Steele Jamieson who was 15 years old. William John jamieson was a grocer.


Thanks so much!
