Agnes' father, Robert Jamison, was farming in 1863 in Ballyhay; he was leasing 18 acres from Louisa Webb. William Keating, the brother of our immediate ancestor, Samuel Keating Sr., 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 was sharing an acres of turbary, or bog, with Ann Gilmore, leased from the same landlady Louisa Webb.
The Donaghadee First Presbyterian Church register, which I accessed in the Public Records Office in Belfast, shows up the baptism of a Robert Jamieson on 21st July 1814.
