This post is merely a collation of information on the Jamieson/Jamison/Jameson families of rural Donaghadee. We descend from a Robert Jamieson of Ballyhay, Donaghadee, but it's unclear whether all these different people are related. I presume that there is some sort of family relationship between the Killaughey and Ballyhay Jamiesons, given that both townlands are so close to each other. For the moment, the following is all I have, but this information may be of some use to other researchers....
Records of Ballyhay/Killaughey Jamiesons/Jamisons/Jamesons
Griffiths Valuation, 1863 - John, Joseph, Samuel and David Jamison were farming in Killaughey, Donaghadee, Co. Down.
Robert Jamison was farming in 1863 in Ballyhay, which is immediately adjacent to Killaughey/Killaghey.
He was leasing 18 acres from Louisa Webb; William Keating, a member of our Keating family, was leasing eight acres from the same Louisa Webb in the same townland.
Samuel Keating was leasing fourteen acres of land plus a house and outbuildings from Daniel Delacherois, and is sharing an acres of turbary, or bog, with Ann Gilmore, leased from the same landlady Louisa Webb.
From Donaghadee 1st Presbyterian Church register:
Baptism, May 25th 1802 - Gian (?) Jameson, daughter of David Jameson of Killaughey.
Baptism, 1813 - Eliza Jane Jamieson, daughter of Hugh Jamieson, tailor of Ballyhay.
Baptism, 21st July 1814 - Robert Jamieson, son of Hugh Jamieson. Our ancestors were William John Anderson and Agnes Keating who married in 1877 and who lived at the Woodstock Road, East Belfast - Agnes was the daughter of Samuel Keating and Agnes Jamieson who had married in Carrowdore Church in 1856. Agnes Jamieson was the daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Jamieson - both Robert Jamieson and Samuel Keating originated in Ballyhay, Donaghadee, and can be seen on Griffiths Valuation.
The above Robert Jamieson, who was baptised in Ballyhay in 1814, seems to be the grandfather of our Agnes Anderson of the Woodstock Road; in 1901, the census shows that a visitor was also present in the Anderson household on the Woodstock Road, East Belfast - the 80-yr-old Elizabeth Jamieson, and I wonder was she Agnes Anderson's great-aunt, Eliza Jane Jamieson, who was baptised in Ballyhay in 1813, and who was the unmarried sister of Agnes Anderson's paternal grandfather, Robert Jamieson of Ballyhay? A suitable Belfast registration of death exists for an Elizabeth Jamieson - 1816 to 1901.
Baptism, 14th November 1825 - John Jamieson, son of John Jamieson and Catherine McKenny of Donaghadee.
Baptism, 13th March 1826 - James, son of Charles Murdoch and Nancy Jamieson of Donaghadee.

Baptism, 29th July 1834 - Charles, son of Charles Murdoch and Nancy Jamieson.

Orcilla Jamieson made her will in Ballymacarrett in 1892. Orcilla/Urcilla and William Jamison had kids - Mary Ann, born 26th May 1875, and Robert James born 31st January 1881. I'm sure there were others....
