Interesting concluding line...a long journey to find the truth, well done!
I have to ask whether this was your suspicion prior to checking out his seafaring journeys?

No definitely not there has never been any suspicion and I am quite disappointed that we may not have any Norwegian blood (although it does explain why my ancestry DNA test says I am 83% north west England ) He was elusive always away at sea for census or electoral roll. And my grandad remembered him being away for long periods when they had to chop up furniture for firewood then he would come home and tip gold into wife’s held out apron. I was just curious about his sea faring history and then once I started it was like picking at a scab I couldn’t stop 🙈😂
