Hi Ian
Copy of Death Certificate
As for Eric Olssen was just a long shot. My friend helping me out matched this person as born in Nordmaling in right year & shows no record of marriage or children. Yep a long shot.
Cheers Shazz

Hi Ian
To be honest from information on Ancestry & MyHeritage. I have always been told he was born in Sweden. Have chatted to a couple of people who have him in their trees too but they can't give me any more info. I have his death certificate hoping would give me more info. No parents names but says birth in Sweden but hard to read place. Looks like Nordonsling but could be Nordmaling. Also his son confirmed in documents that his father was born in Sweden. Been trying to work this all out for some time now. Regards Shazz

I am new to this site & need help. I too am seeking a crew list for the Hövding in 1873 in Napier NZ. Quite possibly my great grandfather could have been one of the deserters. He was born in Nordmaling, Västerbotten abt 1855/56 I believe. I have no idea of his Swedish name although a Eric Olssen was suggested. But his name here was Charles Thompson. I have been told a rumor that he jumped ship in NZ & he was possibly a cabin boy? His naturalization in Dec 1893 (age 37yrs) indicates he had been in NZ for 20 years making him about 17 yrs old when he jumped ship. I believe he worked on roads, bridges etc & was settled in Pohangina Valley after marrying Winifred Mary Maddock abt 1886/87 & also lived in Ashhurst NZ. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊
