Essex / Jameson/Jamison/Jamieson
« on: Monday 24 November 14 15:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking into a family called Jameson/Jamison/Jamieson who were around the Barking area in the mid 19th century. I am related to a branch of that family that eventually moved to Great Yarmouth with the fishing fleet. I believe some branches of the family remained in or around Barking well into the 20th century.

Interested in corresponding with any one who might be a relative however remote!

Abit of an outside shot but might be worth looking at a book called Hayloft to Temple by Arthur Patterson. Its a history of Primitive Methodists around Yarmouth in that era but as the preachers often travelled about could be worth a gander. You never know, you might get lucky!

Hi Jan,

no sorry I havent come across those names, well yet anyway.

The furthest back I have got so far is Thomas Holland and Elizabeth Wilson has a son Thomas Wilson Holland in 1807. Thomas Wilson Holland married an Elizabeth (Barber?) and they were George Frederick Holland's parents. One of George F's children was Charles who was my Great Great Grandfather.

best wishes

Gary

Hey, I am related to the Jamieson/Jameson family that came from Barking to Yarmouth in the 1860s/1870s. Not sure this is the same branch but you have to suspect a relationship. Let me know if you want any information or if you have any that might want to share

Hi, I have connections to the Holland family from Yarmouth. Have traced them back to Thomas Holland, 1807 and am currently researching his son George Frederick Holland born in 1848

Norfolk / George Frederick Holland

Hi, I am interested in anyone who is a relation or has any information on the above gentleman from Yarmouth, b 1848. He married an Elvina Lamb and they had more than a handful of children, some who seemed to have been living in the area until the 1950s/1960s at least. George F's father was a Thomas Wilson Holland, also from Yarmouth and born about 1807. If anyone has any information or links to the Hollands I would love to hear from you

Funnily enough I was just going to restart my search! Thanks for the information folks. So this takes us firmly back into the times of the celebrated Pastons. All we need to find out now is who the parents of the elder James is!

I will share some information for any other reserachers here. I have identified THREE family groups involving JAMES PASTON c1730.

1) James Paston - Susan(anah) Gillings

2) James Paston - Mary

3) James Paston - Susanah Langley - this James is a Doctor and they ultimately ended up near Harleston, Norfolk.

I have also located a James Paston and a Susanah out at Necton (Neeton) Norfolk though whether this is (1) or (3) above I haven't been able to work.

I have identified also two James Pastons born in 1730 & 1731. One was to James-Mary and the other to a James-Susanah. I have traced my own family line back to a James Paston who according to marriage records was born in 1729. It is possible that he is not either the 1730 or 1731 James.

If anyone has anything they could add it would very much appreciated
