London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Gayton MANSFIELD - Witness Old Bailey Trial
« on: Monday 13 April 15 03:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi CiCi,
Thanks for the reply but I can't see this as being my family...yet.
My Gayton Mansfield SUMMERTON's parents Thomas SUMMERTON and Eliza nee MANSFIELD were married in 1803 so your Eliza was too young to be my Elizabeth MANSFIELD.
I will keep this on file though for future reference and we may find a 'link' one day
Cheers, blessings & thanks

Hi Ian,
Just checking in before bed. I couldn't find an Isak Forsstrom arriving in SA on any ship's list . I haven't looked at the RAH records for him...but I should as it may give the ships name, as it did with Erik NYHOLM. I think it likely that this Isak and Johan are the same man...perhaps with a name change and age incorrectly noted somehow...and with Erik having his photo and that of his wife and children taken with the headstone seems to place great significance of some sort between the 2 men.
I shall see if I can do something re verifying it with records in the near future.
Thanks for understanding :)
Julie

Hi Ian and Marlene,

Isaac Forstrom died 20th Nov 1885 aged23
Was a Labourer of Yorketown (Sth Australia)
Died of pleurisy, Emphysema & pericarditis at the Royal Adelaide Hospital
Informant was William Rossiter, Cabinetmaker of Adelaide

On the headstone (geographically no idea where it is except no record in West Tce cem) it reads,
Isak  Forsstrom
Fran :Nykarleby
Fod : 6/3/1862
Dod den: 20/11/1885

It is going to be very slow going with me I am afraid, as the 'health issue' I mentioned to you Ian is actually PTSD...from a horrible incident over a year and a half ago which causes me to become a bit 'insular' at times...and has robbed me of the enthusiasm I once burned with in many areas . I do hope you'll understand as I'm very much wanting to regain 'my old self' and am doing it a bit at a time, as I can.
I shall plod along for now, and will hopefully be able to be of some use in the hunt re Erik :)

Oscar also had a son and here is the family in 1890 1900 in Stockholm. Unfortunately Margareta was a widow....

Lundqvist, Margareta Olivia b. 1857 - Mother
Anna   b. 1884   
Nils Vilhelm b. 1894   

Margareta's maiden name was Nyholm.

Just saw this bit of info...
"Margareta's maiden name was NYHOLM"...
My great Grandmother, one of Erik NYHOLM's daughters was called 'Margretta' ...then my Grandmother ( her daughter) was 'Eliza Margretta' and my sister has ' Marguerite' as a middle name.

Possibly a coincidence but may be worth seeing if there is a connection to this use of the name in my NYHOLM descendants and this lady from the LUNDQUIST family.

Cheers,
Julie

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Oz to Christchurch then back again

Hello Dee and Sarah...and my most sincere apologies for my prolonged absence from Family History @ Rootschat. I had a series of personal/medical issues which had to take preference over all else and am just now getting back in dribs & drabs to what I loved doing. You're actually the 'first Cab off the rank' for me in this.

Anyway, just thought I'd touch base and explain my absence and if you can bear with me for another week, I shall in the meantime have a re-look over my Tree then get back to you.

Very nice to meet you Dee, anyway :)
Cheers and blessings
Julie

There were 2 other men who jumped ship with this Eric, also from Finland.....
Axel Wik
Johan Karlsson Forsström

By jove I think you have cracked it with this last bit jamcat95!
I have a b/w photograph of EriK with wife and children standing at the graveside of
Johann FORSTROM
I couldn't work out the connection but this seems very highly to be it...jumped ship together and were friends.
Thank you for your efforts everyone.
I have been missing in the 'battle' for a time due to health issues but am very grateful for being blessed by such wonderful ppl assisting in tracking down answers.
I shall find my notes on Forstrom's death cert that I tracked down years ago to see if he was perhaps related to Erik ,refresh myself in the matter and when able to, work out what to do from this point.

Thanks Cando...I will be heading in there within the next week hopefully and will look for the pieces you have mentioned for this Ship.
Here is the scanned 1881 and 1884 records from the Adelaide Hospital with the relevant column re Name of Ship ...couldn't fit all the page on but have marked with an asterisk next to the relevant piece on the 1881 but then forgot to mark the 1884 the same way, but k=just look for the 'Coppersmith' entry and that is my Erik.
See what you guys make from the handwritten entry...

A curve ball has come my way tonight as I made contact with a rellie interstate who I have just found via 'detective' work and his bit of news is that Erik may have changed his name...that Nyholm was not actually the name he was born under, but that it was 'RYSS'...but then it got changed again before he came out on the ship to 'RANK'...so he's listed on a ship under the name of 'RANK'...WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US????? ;)
On all the records once he got here he is recorded as NYHOLM...puzzling.
Makes life very interesting, indeed!
Will see what I can find out re this latest bit of info..and let you know if I come up with anything.
Thanks guys...let me know what you make of the handwriting /deciphering...I read it as NAYDELM for the 1881 and WAGENHELM for the 1884...hope you can see them ok.
Cheers for now
Julie

I will attempt to scan and upload the entry tomorrow so you can see what you can make of them...if I can't , I shall coerce any child under 10 to do it for me as they are undoubtedly far better techno whizzes than me ;)
