Hi
I am trying to find the birth of Henrik/Heinrich/Hendrik Pousette
All I know is Sweden about 1846
I have found him over here on 1891 and 1881 but just says Sweden
I am tempted to get a subscription for here https://www.arkivdigital.net/ but not sure if it is worth my while never had to find anything in Sweden before
From a tree on Ancestry they have a middle name of Oskar for him but no idea where they got that from

Hi,
What country was he living in back then?
Ian

Also, what was his occupation?

I believe he was an engineer on boats
Sweden as you say is where he says he was from on the two census's he appears on 1881 and 1891. He dies before the 1901 census.

He lived over here between at least 1871 when he married in Kingsbridge in Devon to Ellen Elliott (Salcombe) and when he dies in London area in 1893.
Weird thing I found an hour ago from transcribed marriage for him and Ellen was it said he was from Holland.

He was in the Metropolitan Police in the mid-1870s. Number 192 S.
There are several newspaper mentions of him giving evidence.
