'Name of Ship' needed

[jamcat95]

I had a wee look for a Johan Eriksson in Nykarleby and found 2 Johans and 1 Johannes from the same village Socklot as Eric. Hopefully the dates of birth coincide with the death of Johann.

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

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.

Hi Ezekiel
Did you find the death certificate of Johan Forstrom ?

..... and there is an Eric Carlsson born on 10 May 1850 in Nykarleby with father Carl Eriksson on the site I posted earlier.

I'm wondering where this information came from.  I found an Eric Carlsson born on 10 May 1850 but it shows he died on 12 May 1850.  Attached image (hope I did that right)
This is my first post so hope I'm doing this right, but to put you in the picture Erik Nyholm was my paternal great grandfather.

Hi Marlene,

I had a bit of re-capping to catch up there....

He was born 10 May 1850 and was christened 12 May 1850. I checked the records and found no death of a Carl Eriksson in that parish in 1850.

Hi Ian,

Sorry about that.  It was on a FamilySearch record which had those birth and baptism dates but it showed he died 12 Oct 1851 as on the snip I've attached.  What do you think?  On one of the certificates I have (his marriage I think), it shows his father was Karl but they didn't include mother's names on the records.

Another query I have is on the headstone it shows "Erik, from Monaby, 7/7/1850-22/12/1887 (H O Emma of Goodwood).   Erected out of respect by a few friends, E Nyman, K Mattson, K Frilund, M Erikson, W Sundell, E Erikson & H Hendrikson".  I haven't seen the headstone but this monumental inscription is recorded by Genealogy SA.  I have heard that there is no such place as Monaby, is that correct? 

The document from the ship "Weidenhielm" is great and it looks pretty certain that would be him and it is understandable that his accent would have let to the entries in the Adelaide Hospital records having different spelling.

My Erik does remain a bit of a puzzle

Hi Marlene,
I have looked again in the seaman's database and found 3 other men who jumped ship with Eric:

Carl August Åhman
Martin Richard Stiernström
Eric Höglund

Maybe names that are familiar.

Hi Ian,
Those names don't seem familiar at all.  I looked in SA BDMs but these fellows didn't appear there.

On the birth record in 1876 for Erik Nyholm's eldest daughter, Anna Emma (my grandmother), it shows her father as Augustin Nyholm and he was also the informant.  His occupation was given as farmer at that time, although coppersmith is shown on the two hospital records for him in 1881 and 1884.

I'll just have to keep looking.

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

Hi ezekiel,
Sorry to hear of your illness, sounds hard going.

This death of Isaac Forstrom, is it the same man that jumped ship with Eric, as his name was Johan Forström and the age is different.
