My Alexander Jamieson was a sea captain, who sailed between UK and Australia from the 1830's until he emigrated to Adelaide in 1852, and died in 1868, aged 79. I am still trying to contact descendants of his first family, mother Mary Anderson, none of whom accompanied him to Australia.
My research from UK BDM cd-rom at Mortlock Library, Adelaide, source batch file c119066, shows he was christened at Aberdeen Old Machar 12/1/1789, naming his father as Alexander Jamieson also.
It is possible that his eldest son was named Alexander and is your ancestor, but it requires more searching of the Aberdeen parish records to identify the children of the first marriage. It is a long-term goal of mine to do this,but it is very time consuming.
regards Crichton
I am looking for descendants of the family of Helen Aiken,b 6 April 1814 in Aberdeen< Scotland, married Captain Alexander Jamieson about 1836, emigrated to South Australia in 1850's, then to New Zealand with some of her daughters, died Gisborne 6 August 1901.
Direct descendants live in Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina through son Harry (1850-1900). Really interested in Scottish family descended from siblings of Helen, who may know of her ancestors.
http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?Patagonia::jamieson::89.htmlSeeking contact with descendants of Captain Alexander Jamieson,born 1788 in Aberdeen, married 3 times, last wife Helen Aiken, migrated to Adelaide, South Australia 1852. He died after accident Aug 3, 1868.
He had at least 21 children, with 12 from his last wife. Helen Jamieson died in New Zealand with her daughters, McPhail.
Son Harry Jamieson went to Argentina, settled in Patagonia where there now many descendants,as well as hundreds in Australia. Looking for cousins in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Scotland.

posteriormente a estas cartas tomo contacto con Steve Jamieson, quien nos paso la nota historica adjunta.
Alexander Jamieson as owner and Master obviously brought the "Rosebud" out to Australia and eventually to Melbourne where she worked the coastal trade. From the archives of the State Library of South Australia, comes a report from the newspaper, The South Australian Register, dated February 19,1852. . .
"Rosebud" (Brig) 139 tons, Jamieson, Master, discharging from London. A. L. Elder & Co., Agents."
Also an advertisement in the same paper of Friday, February 27,1852 reads . . .
"For Melbourne. To sail on Saturday next, the 28th instant. The fine A1 Clipper Schooner "Rosebud" 139 tons Register, Jamieson, Master is now taking in cargo for Melbourne and will be despatched on Saturday next."

Wife #1, Jane ? ,
I found record of christening of 1 son, I suspect the eldest, Alexander Andrew, Christened 16 Sept 1827, St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney, London, I cannot trace him in England or that he emigrated to Australia with the family,
I presume she died before 1833
Wife #2,Mary Wilson, marriage 26 Sept 1833, St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney, London,
I have identified 2 children of this marriage,
Eveline Augusta, Christened 21 Sept 1837,St. Dunstan's, but recorded as the 7th daughter of AJ!
She came to Australia with the family in 1852, and married Frederick Wilhelm Carl Heinrich Wurm, and had a large family,
Catherine, details sketchy, born ca 1840, came to Australia, lost track.
I presume she died before 1842.
Wife #3, Helen Aiken, Christened 13 July 1814, St. Mary's Church, Whitechapel, London, daughter of William Aiken and Helen?, she had 2 recorded brothers William 1, born 12 May 1811, christened St. Dunstan's, Stepney 26 July 1811, but presumably died young, and William 2, born 25 March 1816, christened 6 May 1816 in St. Vincent St. Scotch Church, Stepney.
Married AJ 25 August 1842, St. Thomas's Church, Stepney
She had 10 children with AJ, the eldest was my great grandmother, Helen Aiken Jamieson, born 29 July in Stepney, London, the youngest was Henry William Jamieson( your ancestor), born 9th July 1859, in Yatala House, Port Adelaide and noted as AJ's 23rd child.
