1831-workup-hugh: Some Bann Jamesons

There is considerable confusion about who is who in the 1831 census of three (3) Jamieson families living next to each other in the Town of Movanagher, Kilrea, County Londonderry[1] when compared to what is separately known about these families.

^ Apart from the 1831 census return information we don't know anything about this Hugh Jamieson family, suggesting perhaps that this entire family moved elsewhere, maybe even emigrating, sometime after the 1831 census.

There were two more Jamieson families, adjacent to this (above) known family, One is a Jonathan Jamieson and the other is a William Jamieson, of which apart from what little the 1831 census provides, we know nothing. It is reasonable to assume these three families are closely connected, probably brothers.

Note: Special recognition must go to Nancy (Nan) Flickinger for her wonderful Census Analytical Tool, from which our graphic is based. Without her help and inspiration this page would not exist as it does.
