I have become so confused trying to figure out the many Alexander Jamieson's in my branch and could really use some new thoughts. My gggg grandfather Alexander Jamieson (1790) married to Mary Graham in Ireland has a son Lachlan (1819-Ireland) Lachlan shows up in Port Glasgow in the 1861 married to Catherine McCurdy they were married in Ireland-had two children there six more in Port Glasgow. Living in Port Glasgow right next door in 1851 is a Michael Jamieson (1821) married to Eliza both born in Ireland and from Scotland's People I can see that they were married in Ireland. There is a Michael and Alexander Jamieson both born in Ireland in 1830, listed as cousins of the older Michael. I believe that the older Michael may be Lachlan's brother or cousin, but can't line them up. I can see a marriage record (through the help of this board) that Michael (1830) married a widow Bridget Keenan. In 1902 Michael born in 1830 dies living with Lachlan's daughter Mary and some of her children, his death record lists him as being 20 years younger but because of things my grandmother had said and the 1901 census I am certain it was him. He is the widow of Bridget Keenan, my problem is that signing the death record is Daniel Jamieson (Lachlan's son) as Michael's step brother. I don't think there is anyway this could be possible, based on Michael's true age, but I am totally confused now. The older Michael is still showing up in the 1881 married to Eliza living in Greenock, she dies in 1883 and I can never find out what happens to him or Alexander born in 1830. I know this is confusing and I really am trying to find out the father of these three men. Thanks in advance for any advice or help. Take care, |

Thanks I found it, his father had the same name as Lachlan's which was Alexander, but they have different mothers...Lachlan's was Bridget McKendrick and Alexander's was Helen McNeil. Thanks again. |
