I don't think any of the above people were John's parents. I'm fairly sure I've come across this lot before and the Parents were Alexander Jamieson and Ann Dunlop who married in 1835 in Greenock, which fits perfectly with the childrens' names. No recorded births to this couple.
The place in Inverness should be Waternish, the following McLean family were related to my paternal uncle's wife but I've got a feeling the McLeods and Margaret are related to yours (somehow):

I'll eat my hat if this isn't John's sister-in-law!!
Looked at various Jamieson births in Greenock and there is another with Boyle as the Middle name. The parents were Alexander and ELIZABETH Clark who married in Greenock in 1865. They Produced:
1. JANET BOYLE JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index

2. ALEXANDER JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index

Then ALSO on Kelly Street:

A quick search for the birth of son Martin around 1863 in Greenock gives the following.

3. MARTIN JAMIESON - International Genealogical Index

Now I'd be willing to bet that this is John and Alexander's Step Mother. And the following is their Uncle:

It's very easy to find Robert and Alexander's birth's in Erskine with a search 10 years either way of 1815. Loads of siblings too.
Searching for Keogh, Kelly, Fitzgerald, Riddell, Stewart, Wilson, McQuilkin, Lynch, Boyle, Cairney, Ross, King, McIlravey, McCurdy, Drennan and Woods (to name but a few).
Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.
