New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Tracing the men who jumped ship

Thank you for trying. I have just been told that my Grandma had been corresponding with someone in Sweden a while back regarding Peter Anderson. I hope to get my hands on these letters and hopefully it will give me some more details.
Once again, thanks for trying. Fiona

I have no idea. Perhaps someone misread Frederick's occupation Mariner............

No, the marriage certificate didn't say that Andrew Lawson was a miner. The only occupation listed was Mariner for Frederick Lawson. Fiona

I can go into the Archives and have a look at the ITM for Peter Anderson/Petrine Peterson.
I was not aware that Peter had any siblings in NZ and I can see that Erik Anderson is related to a Petter August Anderson (but I don't see that they are part of my family)

I will also have a look through the Police Gazettes which should list any deserters - 
Peter Anderson in Lyttelton and Otago from 1872
Frederick Lawson/Larson off the Wairoa in Wellington 1883
Thanks for your help locating the Official Number of the Wairoa.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Frederick Lawson (Larson?) born in Sweden
« on: Thursday 19 November 15 01:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Ian, Frederick is supposed to have been on the same ships as Mary Ann Turner (the Wairoa) which arrived in Wellington, from London, in August 1883.
The marriage certificate shows Frederick was a mariner, while Andrew Lawson and Mary Anderson are recorded as his parents. It also shows his place of birth as Stockholm, Sweden. I have no other records for Frederick, as he died without being naturalised. Fiona

New Zealand Completed Requests / Peter Anderson born in Sweden and lived in Le Bon's Bay
« on: Thursday 19 November 15 01:13 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Beg,
I appear to have two conversations going on at the same time.
Peter Anderson -
Naturalisation record (1901) = born about 1832 in Goeteborg, Sweden.
He married Petrine Peterson Dec 1874 in Le Bon's Bay, Canterbury (no father's details)
Death Record (1918) = supposed to have been in NZ 46 years (arrived about 1872) and he                               was 40 years old when married (that fits with 1832 the birth date).
The family information that I have been given shows that Petter August Anderson had a brother; -Erik Gustaff Anderson who arrived in NZ on the same ship. I am fairly confident that Erik is NOT my Peter Anderson's brother. As far as I am aware, my Peter Anderson had no siblings in NZ. Fiona

I don't have anything else to add. Hus parents names were on the marriage certificate. Fiona
