Hi Tom The Bellie OPRs have around 60 Births/Christenings listed from about 1709 up to 1855 and around 20 Marriages/Banns from about 1723 up to 1855. These can all be searched on the IGI but if you have specific items you wish confirmed I have the OPR film for Bellie covering the full period and will check for you. Ian A C Scott

Ian, Thanks for the very prompt response and the offer of look-up help in the Bellie OPRs. I think I have the jamieson line identified back to the marriage of John JAMIESON and Mary GRAY on 19.3.1796. I have also got quite a number of JAMIESON events (Bs or Ms) prior to that date in Bellie but have so far not managed to connect any of them to the John JAMIESON above. There is too a stone in Bellie graveyard (No 263 in the MI booklet) which is inscribed on both sides. The more modern side (with dates from 1908 onwards) is included in the Jamieson family network I have identified but the other,older side of the stone has no direct connection to the people on the newer side...but there must be one. It shows a Georg JAMIESON d. 1780,wife Katharine INNES and children Alex and Hellen who died respectively 1780,82 and 89, with the stone erected by James GEDDES.I think he must have been married to a Jamieson woman. I would like to work out the connection between the two sides of the stone and any help on that would be much appreciated. Thanks too for the suggestion that I look at the Local Heritage site. I will do that. Thanks too to Anne Burgess for suggesting that the Heritage search can be narrowed by using Bogmuir/moor . Tom C.
