A 1901 and 1911 states that he was born in Quebec,

his death record and an 1881 census states he was born in Ontario.

In 1901 the census stated that John could not speak English, nor read and write it.

We know again of John Jamieson having his first child in 1854

with his wife Harriet Fountain, who was also born in 1836 on October 22nd.

John Jamieson History

The next generation of John Jamieson history includes Joseph Jamieson,

who was the 8th child of John Jamieson and Harriet Fountain.

He was born December 9th, 1871.

He grew up in Huron County area where he married Sarah Grace Cantlon,

born March 10th, 1872 in Goderich Township, in Huron County, Ontario.

They married on November 17th, 1898 in Ontario.

They had 9 children together starting with Alfred Eldred Jamieson,

then Maude Jamieson, born 1911, Dominion City, Manitoba.

Between August 1905 and September 1906,

Joseph Jamieson took his family to Deleau, Manitoba

which is about 1200 miles from Huron County, Ontario so this was quite a trip.

They farmed the land in Dominion City, Manitoba

there in which we have family still living in that immediate area today.

Joseph Jamieson and his wife Sarah Grace both died in 1933;

Joseph on July 30th, 1933 and Sarah on September 14th, 1933,

just 45 days apart from each other.

The next generation of our John Jamieson history is the

2nd child of Joseph and Sarah Jamieson was William John Jamieson

 born April 28th, 1901 in Brussels, Ontario.

At age 4-5 William traveled with his family to Deleau, Manitoba,

 then Dominion City, Manitoba where he spent his childhood.

Around 1924 William, his sister Mary and brother George

went to the states to get on their own and find better work.

They started in Waukesha, Wisconsin though Mary moved to North Dakota with her husband.

On August 19th, 1925 William married Ethel Viola Humphries

who was born in Waukesha, December 23rd, 1902.

They got married in Waukegan, IL where they lived from 1925 to 1927.

In 1927 they had their first son, Lorne Jamieson who died within 2 weeks of birth.

They moved back to Waukesha, WI and had their 2nd child, Glenn William Jamieson

born March 17th, 1929. William and Ethel had 2 more children;

Allen John Jamieson born June 12th, 1933, and

Loraine Ethel Jamieson born December 30th, 1934.

The happy start of this family soon went dark when William went into the hospital with pneumonia.

On what seemed to be his way to recovery,

he began having stomach pains and his heart gave out.

He died February 24th, 1936 at the age of 34.

Though in the John Jamieson history, William brought many descendants.

The next generation of our John Jamieson history is the

2nd son of William and Ethel Jamieson is Glenn William Jamieson

who lost his father at 6 years old.

He managed his way through school and joined the Air Force straight out of school.

He spent time in North Dakota, and in Okinawa and Japan.

He learned several trades which helped for his future careers.

He met his wife, Shirley Ann Lapp and married her April 3rd, 1952.

Shirley was born in Waukesha, WI, August 26th, 1936.

 From 1952 to 1975 they had 9 children;

Randall, Ricky, Scott, Barry, Nathaniel, John, Todd, Jay and Gary Jamieson.

Soon, this will be Jamieson history as well.
