Daniel Henrickson

[velcro]

Hi
This is like finding a needle in a haystack but here goes anyway...
My ggrndfather Daniel Henrickson b. abt 1860 Finland.Family story: At age 14yrs  left Finland with his older brother and sailed to England. They sailed around the world as crew members before being assigned to different ships. Reported in his Naturalization papers that he arrived in New Zealand and stayed several yrs. He then sailed to Australia where he made his way to WA to marry and settle and raise his family.Apparently stated resided in NZ 2 yrs. Any traces of his stay?No ship names sorry and may of arrived abt 1883.

Cheers

Hi velcro,

Does he have a middle name?    The only Daniel Henrickson I can see on the Electoral Rolls has the  middle name of "Peter".  That one fits in the E/R for 1907 Manawatu.

Looking at the Naturalisation for NZ, this Daniel Peter Henrickson was from Denmark born 14 April 1871 .... so not your chappie.

Hi Velcro...

Can't offer any help sorry but I'm just wondering what you know of Daniel HENRICKSON's family.

Do you know the name or age of the older brother. Or of any other siblings.

Do you know the brothers' rank at any time in their career (able seaman, mate, officer etc)

Do you know where in Finland/Sweden he/they were born.

Finnish and Swedish family records back to the 18th century are quite comprehensive and are available on-line (but usually pay-per-view).

Maybe there are other family members who visited or migrated to NZ and we can work from them.

Regards
Beg

Me again

i know nothing of his parents and siblings (if any). Know a lot of his Australian family. He apparently had no more contact with his Finnish connections once in Australia apparently. He spoke "broken English" didnt write in English. Would a photo of him help?
On his Naturalization records state his father as Aaron. Now he required a scriber for his information to fill the forms. He stated his birth as 15 Aug 1860 Priastadt Finland. I haven't found this place. As the scriber wrote as he heard I not sure???
Family say that he may of had a brother Andrew. He named 1 son Andrew.??
The family also say his sisters may of been called Annie, Susan, May, Pearl,Irma Emmeline??? His daughter were named these names?
No other family moved to New Zealand. All in Australia.

But I do have another family that migrated to NZ. John Blechynden
d. 8 Jan 1924 Nelson NZ m. Isabella Lindsay 1879 Newcastle Falstone ENG.2nd wife Sarah Jane Newton. d. 2 Feb 1957 Nelson NZ
his sister Elizabeth Blechydnen also went to NZ. m.John Henry INGLIS/INSES. possible Auckland Farmer. Elizabeth b. 1833.
Any info on this family would be welcomed.
