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!
