Australia / Re: Franz CARLSSON - Passenger list
« on: Wednesday 30 October 19 23:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi Allie_burnie,
I just saw this old post regarding my greatgrandparents Franz Carlsson and Elizabetth M Davis. Franz was definitely born in Sweden since a member of the family has obtained his birth certificate. It is in Swedish of course and we are waiting to have the document translated.
I also found Franz's naturlisation papers which listed the Frederick Bassil as his arrival ship in Australia, but I also could find no record of him on any of these voyages, although the June records appear to be missing. Franz was coming and going between NSW and the colonies as well as overseas prior to 1882 though. We have some references provided to him by previous employers (ie ships captains) prior to this. He obtained his bride to be's weddding ring in Adelaide on one of those trips. Have you had any further luck with your research? Cheers, Vanessa
