Hi Ian,

I had seen that notice although hadn't seen most of the others you listed and I have a copy of the Probate file.  I think Trove is such an asset for researchers and it is great that there are continually more newspapers being added.  It is so good for South Australian papers. 

I think the Rechabites originated in England but many people in Australia haven't heard of them.  I mentioned the article to the 2nd cousin I have been spending time with and she said Karl Mattsson was also in the Lodge.

Hi again,
Couldn't help myself - had a better look at the Trove one on Bible Christian Church headed Rechabitism.  Before my parents were married, my Mother was very much involved with the Independant Order of Rechabites (which I'm assuming was the name they carried on with after 1887) as were more of her family and her Mum's family.  Don't know if this type of organised existed in Finland but Lodges were quite big in Australia it seems.  Can't wait to mention this to a guest speaker we have coming for a family history seminar later in the month as her family were also involved with the Rechabites and she has looked more into it than I have. 
Can't wait to get back to this ... but really must get organised.

Hi Ian,

All I can say is WOW!! :) :D ;D :o 8) ::) 
What you have posted gets even more amazing.  Sorry I won't have time to keep looking more deeply at it all today or tomorrow as I'll be spending the time with my 2nd cousin and her husband.

I have looked in Trove for articles but obviously not as well as you have.  It is such a great site.  I did have a quick look at the links you showed in the last post but need to do more.  The Weidenhielm was a beautiful ship.

Need now to look more closely at all of your recent finds. 
Thank you so much for all you have done for us.
Catch you again as soon as I can,
Marlene

Ian,

It is absolutely amazing what you have found - fantastic, and it all seems to make sense but I now need to sit quietly and go right through it all.

Just out of bed and thought I'd quickly check to see if there were any replies so got such a surprise to see the amount of research you have done for us.  A 2nd cousin (granddaughter of Eric Edward, Erik NYHOLM snr's son) and her husband are arriving in town for a few days later today so need to get some chores done.

Thank you so much,
Marlene

That's great Ian,

I remember reading that thread with Ryss and Rank but didn't think too much about it because of the document showing the ship name as Weidenhielm which to me sounded so much like was in the Adelaide Hospital record.

So would it be right that his father's surname "Rank" is then dropped and he became Eric Carlsson? The birth being in "Monå by" does match the headstone inscription so that seems to make sense.   

I'll have to chase up the Finnish forum for the mention of the possibility of Karl Mattsson and Erik being cousins and a mention of Hansdotter being the mother of a Matts and also Erik's mother's surname.

Would I be right in thinking that is the parents and their 3 children's entry?  Is this a parish entry?  Are the column headings Finnish or Swedish? 

I'd be interested to hear Julie's thoughts but I reckon this sounds pretty much the right family even though on the headstone inscription it shows Erik was born 7 July 1850.

Thanks so much Ian for your digging.

Thanks both Ian and Julie,

Apologies for the confusion with Erik and Augustin (Anna Emma's father on her birth registration) - they are the same person. It does seem odd to me that Erik would have his name recorded on the registration as Augustin but I guess it adds to the confusion with different names being used as Julie also found it most likely with Isaac/Isak/Johan Forstrom.

Sorry you are still not well Julie but do wish you well in your recovery.  I was in Adelaide this time last year but didn't get to spend as much time on research as I had hoped or get to West Terrace Cemetery to see Erik Nyholm's grave.  Would love to get back there again but won't be this year.

I appreciate the efforts of everyone who has contributed on this topic and I'll keep trying to solve the mysteries.

Hi Ian,
Those names don't seem familiar at all.  I looked in SA BDMs but these fellows didn't appear there.

On the birth record in 1876 for Erik Nyholm's eldest daughter, Anna Emma (my grandmother), it shows her father as Augustin Nyholm and he was also the informant.  His occupation was given as farmer at that time, although coppersmith is shown on the two hospital records for him in 1881 and 1884.

I'll just have to keep looking.

Hi Ian,

Sorry about that.  It was on a FamilySearch record which had those birth and baptism dates but it showed he died 12 Oct 1851 as on the snip I've attached.  What do you think?  On one of the certificates I have (his marriage I think), it shows his father was Karl but they didn't include mother's names on the records.

Another query I have is on the headstone it shows "Erik, from Monaby, 7/7/1850-22/12/1887 (H O Emma of Goodwood).   Erected out of respect by a few friends, E Nyman, K Mattson, K Frilund, M Erikson, W Sundell, E Erikson & H Hendrikson".  I haven't seen the headstone but this monumental inscription is recorded by Genealogy SA.  I have heard that there is no such place as Monaby, is that correct? 

The document from the ship "Weidenhielm" is great and it looks pretty certain that would be him and it is understandable that his accent would have let to the entries in the Adelaide Hospital records having different spelling.

My Erik does remain a bit of a puzzle   ??? :-\

..... and there is an Eric Carlsson born on 10 May 1850 in Nykarleby with father Carl Eriksson on the site I posted earlier.

Ian

I'm wondering where this information came from.  I found an Eric Carlsson born on 10 May 1850 but it shows he died on 12 May 1850.  Attached image (hope I did that right)
This is my first post so hope I'm doing this right, but to put you in the picture Erik Nyholm was my paternal great grandfather.
