John Tait Jamieson (1855 - 1926)

John Tait Jamieson and his wife, Jane McBride lived in Rerrick, Borgue and Kirkmabreck between late 1800's and early 1900's.

John and Jane appear in the 1881 census living in Gledpark, Borgue. John's occupation was given as Agricultural Labourer.

In the 1901 census, John and Jane were living in Margarie, Borgue with 5 of their children and a grandchild, William. John's occupation was Ploughman.

John and Jane married in Rerrick in 1876. They had 9 children: William, Jessie, Hugh, Robert, Samuel, John, Agnes, David and Jane.

On the marriage certificate of John and Jane's daughter, Jessie, John's occupation is given as Farm Manager.

Ancestry.co.uk has discovered one DNA match with a descendant of John and Jane's son, Samuel.
It would seem that Samuel, his wife Susan, son William and William's wife Flora all emigrated to Australia some time after 1942.
