Norway: Christiania. Looking for death records post 1900

[blonde399]

Hello.

Does anyone know if there is an on-line database I can search to track down an English person who was working in Christiania in the early 1900s. I think he may have died there as there are no records in the UK.

Many thanks.

Hi!

Try http://www.begravdeioslo.no for funerals.

If no luck, your next move may be the 1900 or 1910 census in http://www.digitalarkivet.no

Good Luck!

Hello Mr Jan

Many thanks for your help and for responding so quickly.  I have found him in the 1910 census link you posted, teaching at the universtity in Christiania, or at least I think that's what it says.  Lektor v. Universitetet overlærer Chria. Handelsgymnasium.

No sign of him when I search in the funerals list though, so I will continue to look elsewhere.

Thanks again.

That's a good start!

He has two jobs by the looks of it:
lecturer at the university and headmaster at the economic college.

His address will give the parish,

Hello

Yes, he's still there in 1913  at Cort Adelersgate in Kristiania.  Looks like a nice building. He would have been 59 by then (b1854), so probably thinking about retiring from teaching.  His surname was Thurgood, so if you come across him in any of your Norway research, please let me know.

Thanks for all your help.

Thank you. That's great. I haven't seen any pictures of him before. He doesn't look the sort to disappear!

Thanks.

Hi again,

Lecturer Thurgood is still at the same address in 1918, but he appears to be gone in the next book. (1927)

His funeral should be available online, it will however require a <biiiip> of a lot of browsing to find it....!
