New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: John SMITH married Mary SUISTED
« on: Friday 29 May 15 02:58 BST (UK) »
Dear Debss, further to your msge to me - sori I can't return msge.
DNA - me - no (not yet! and am unaware of any of the large extended family doing so). However I've since thought about your post. Sjostedt is not an uncommon name in Sweden. Somewhere on your thread is mentioned their marriage (1881) taking place / or a connection to Waikouaiti?? As Suisted was a well known early european settler for this area back in the 1850's I would suggest that if anyone later turned up with a surname 'Sjostedt' it would not be unlikely for someone to say 'Oh the english spelling for that is Suisted'. Even though the person concerned may not be any relative.
Cheers & good luck

Dear Debsss
Hi I've just joined this website - mainly to respond to your message thread.
I am a decendant of Charles E Suisted (1810-1860) (b Carl Eberhard Sjostedt) and I can advise you that Charles/Carl had no sister Mary.
I can find a reference to swedish nieces 'Maria Frederika Juliana Sjostedt(1825-1848)'. And her sister 'Adelejid Wilhemina Rosalie Sjostedt (b1832 - ?) is mentioned on Charles' Swedish passport issued in Stockholm 1858 during a trip back to Europe from NZ. But I haven't found any family record of Wilhemina coming to NZ and I've speculated that she may have only travelled from Sweden to England with her uncle - if at all.
Then a swedish cousin 'Maria Sophia Obiljana Sjostedt (b 1824-?)
Of the 15 children in total he & his English/Lincolnshire wife, Mary-Emma, had there was one daughter Mary Ophelia Suisted who died as an infant (1838-1841 Tasmania) and another daughter Mary Emma Campbell (nee Suisted) (1848-1933 NZ) no children.
Sjostedt is a reasonably common name in Scandanavia/North America but to date I haven't come across another Suisted that is not descended from Charles/Carl.
Good luck.
