Alexander Jamieson and Martha Sterling (Glasgow)

[JackAllen19]

Hi.
I don't know if anyone can help me but I am looking for a relative of mine called Alexander Jamieson and his wife Martha Sterling who were married in 1895 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland and they moved to Scotland, most likely Glasgow shortly after their marriage. Both were Protestants and I believe that Alex may have been in the Orange Order. I cannot find either on the census records of Ireland so they may have left Ireland before 1901. Martha was born in Londonderry around 1870. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Wow! Thanks so much for your kind help! 
I never knew that Alexander had a brother George but we always knew that there was a George in our family tree who worked in shipping in Glasgow. This pieces together nicely the family connection. The names are also similar to other names in the family tree for example Martha's mother was Elizabeth and Alex's mother was Jane. I cannot thank you enough for your help! Do you know if Alex and Martha appear in 1911 census, if it isn't too much trouble,
Again, thanks very much!

Looks  like Martha S was the one who died

Were Alex's parents William and Jane as there is a record of a George Jamieson born Glendermot Londonderry 12 Aug 1865.

Death for Martha can be viewed on SP which confirm if she was a widow at the time of death
