Jameson was born in Durban and educated at Durban High School. His family later moved to Nottingham, England. Jameson articled there with the prominent architect Watson Fothergill in the period from 1895 to 1900. He married in 1903 and returned to South Africa to practice in East London where he entered into partnership with (AE?) GOODWIN in about 1908 (cf GOODWIN & JAMESON). The firm's offices were in Cuthbert's Building, East London. In 1910 Jameson emigrated to Canada and settled in Vancouver, but within three years he had left Canada and moved to Brisbane, Australia where he found a position as a draftsman in the Office of City Architect, working under the direct supervision of City Architect Alfred H Foster.
