Hello there.  I came across your link whilst searching for information about my Grandfather William Jamieson.  He was originally from Eglinton, Co. Derry but his wife died in childbirth and all I know about him is that he worked as a quarryman in scotland until his death in Inverness.  His children, including my Mother were brought up by maternal relations.   I know william continued to send money and clothes packages home for his children but I think due to the mixed marriage, Catholic and Protestant, family links were not maintained.  I am working on the family tree but have drawn a complete blank regarding Irish records.  It would be interesting to know if we had some link.  Back then, Eglinton was quite a small village, so I imagine that there is a possibility we have a link.
