Title: Christian Nielsen Thomsen
Post by: davidr970 on Friday 06 November 15 11:27 GMT (UK)

Hi

Looking for some information on Christian Nielsen Thomsen who married Christina Connor McGruer in Glasgow on 26 Oct 1944, his parent's names Jensenius Thomsen and Anne Louise Jensen, it looks as though he was in the merchant navy but the marriage record says that he was on War Service.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

David

Does the marriage record say anything about his age or birthplace?

Hi Brian

No there was no birthplace on the Certificate but I did a search for his birth in Scotland and there were no hits, he was in his 30's when he married in 1944 so I estimated that he was born around 1914, there is a medal record on Ancestry which has his birth in March 1914. There were no hits for his parents either in Scotland so I did a quick google search and the information said that the name Jensenius is more popular in Norway and Denmark which led me to Roots.

Thanks

David
