Hi,
I am looking for the family of Ann Jamison born about 1832 Athlone, Ireland.
I have some details of her in NSW Australia but no details of her parents and/or siblings.
Thankyou,
Kind Regards,
Katja

Did you check the irishgenealogy.ie web site? It has lots of civil and church records.
If you relative's family owned land in Westmeath, check the Griffith's Land Valuation (around 1840s) for that name.
Also check the Tithe Applotment Books. Every landowner had to pay a tithe (tax) to the Church of Ireland.
Look at findagrave.com
Make sure to look for variations of names: Ann, Anne, Jamison, Jameson. Written records often had misspellings. Broaden your search, e.g. Ireland or Westmeath instead of Athlone. She might have been registered in a different district.
Also see this site:

Hope this helps.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find an Ann Jamison baptismal record in either Roscommon or Westmeath. What was the religious denomination of the family. If she was Church of Ireland, you may have to contact the Representative Churhc Body Library in Dublin and have someone search the Athlone records (for a fee) to see if ann shows up there. https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers/ParishRegisters/PARISHREGISTERS.pdf
The 1853 Griffitsh Valuation head of household listing for St. Mary's parish Athlone shows two William Jameson records one in Ardnaglug townland and the other in Athlone Court, Irishtown. They may have been two Williams or one William was leasing property at two locations in the parish. https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/westmeath/stmarysathlone.htm Possibly this William was a relative of Susan.
