Hi Linda
Thanks for the prompt reply. I never thought I would ever see a West/Adams/etc post on the internet.
I will write some stuff out in longhand during the weekend, and talk to one of my sisters.
My dad had a good story about an uncle who was a ships doctor, which was handed down in the family.
Will contact soon.
                                       Joe.

Have just seen your post for Jamison. I used to visit their house in Spencer Road as Maggie Jamison was my father's cousin. This was in the 1940's and 50's.
I am decended from the Wests of Coolafinney in Eglington. My grandmother is Elizabeth West, who married John Adams. My dad's eldest brother is the Henry A. Adams on the war memorial. My father also had cousins named Quinn. I have some photographs of the West and Adams families, also a photograph of some of the Jamison family taken in the back garden of the house in Spencer Road.
Will post again when I collate some photographs and information for any of you who are interested, as soon as time permits.

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!
