HCR diary 10.6.1823 Jameson entered picture at RA as honorary exhibitor so he could get in free to the exhibition. He had studied under Basil Montagu

                    11.7.1836 Mrs Aders "asked whether she should ask "(Mrs Jaffray)"to a bluestocking party and said she expected Mrs Jameson etc - I thought Mrs J: would like to see any person of literary name"

                    13.2.1842 Mrs Jameson "enquired not unkindly after the Aders and expressed sympathy with Mrs A: in her present efforts"

                      3.4.1843 "I called in the forenoon on Mrs Reid with whom was Mrs Jameson who now pleases to be very gracious to me after having in a marked way declined my overtures. I spoke about Mrs Aders with her today. She knew her history and said that knowing that she was willing to receive her"

Robert Sympson Jameson (Dictionary of Canadian Biography 1796-1854) was baptised at Harble, Hants 5.6.1796 son of Thomas Jameson and Mary nee Sympson. His father, who owned property in Westmorland and had children by an earlier marriage, died about 1800 (Nat Arch IR 26/420/294). His uncle William Sympson was a Church of England clergyman at Hilton, Hunts, whose will PCC 1807 mentioned his sister Mary wife of William Ross, surgeon of Ambleside and her children Thomas, Mary, Joseph and Robert Jameson. Joseph was a 'ten-year man' at Cambridge University, became vicar of Ripon cathedral and died in 1875. I don't think they were relatives of William Jameson (1775-1836 QV*). R S Jameson was admitted to the Middle Temple 1818 and called to the bar there in 1823. He was listed as having exhibited a landscape at the RA as an honorary exhibitor in 1823. He married Anna Brownell Murphy (DNB 1794-1860) in 1825. The 1842 entry above might equally refer to Sarah Jameson (nee Kingsbury) the widow of William Jameson.
