Axel Martin Peterson born around 1881 and was from Finland. He was a merchant seaman. He married my Gran on 15th Sept 1909 in Liverpool. My mum Ines Peterson was born 1914 and her sister Ellen 1916. Between 1916 and possibly 1919, The deaths at sea register give a death on 26/7/1919 of an Axel Peterson but his address being 1 Smith Street Salford.
From the records I have traced on my family 4 Bartholomew Place Roscoe Street Liverpool was his last known address.
If the death at sea is my grandfather, the ship name was the Notanda. So I am trying to find out who owned this ship and how I could possibly find out when he worked for that company.

Marriage shows him as Axel Martin Petterson.
What is his fathers name on the marriage cert?
-
Axel M Peterson was in the Liverpool work house August 11, 1909 to 17 August 1909.

1911 census - he is still 28 occ mariner

Presumably you are already aware that your grandmother - Catherine Thomas - was previously married in 1897 to Axel Gustaf Mattson b Sweden
The births for Ines & Ellen were both registered as Petersen - not Peterson

Thank you all for the additional information. Re spelling of Peterson and even my Grans first married name Mattson, Looking through cards/ letters there have been various spellings of my grandfather’s surnames. Matson, Mattson, Petterson, Pettersen, Peterson and Petterson. My mum’s marriage lines was Peterson.
-
Carole W on my Gransfather’s marriage lines, his father’s surname is written as Peterson.
-
1921 Catherine/Kate Peterson, formerly Mattson nee Thomas goes back to using her former married name of Matson.
Even Enas (Inas) and Helen (Ellen) are Matson.
-
Amondg- thank you for the information on 75 Rathbone Street re my grandfather, Axel Martin Peterson. I am interested in trying to find out if this address was the workhouse. And if it was, how can I find out more about it. Reason for asking one of my mum’s step sisters ( surname Matson) I have a envelope for her at this address dated July1910 but I have my grans marriage lines giving their address as Upper Pitt St for both Axel and Catherine, before the 4 Bartholomew Place address.
Another question- knowing my grandfather was a merchant seaman, was there a seafarers accommodation back in the early 1900’s
-
It was his address before he entered the workhouse, the workhouse was at Brownlow Hill.
It doesn't give a reason for admission, he could have been ill, and admitted to the hospital.
