1891 he's listed as Johan. A railway signal fitter. Place of birth Bohuhs....

1901 and 1911 his occupation is again related to railway signals

Noting that his mother in law is Mary Jane Heard rather than Davies - I guess she may have remarried at some point

Hi
I am trying to find this John here in Sweden. The only census records I can find are of a John/Johan coming form Norway. Can someone please give me the links to these censuses. I only have FamilySearch.
Thank you.
I have traced the Johan from Sköllungen but I need more info.

Ian

Ian, if you only have familysearch then sending links will only give you transcripts, not images. Do you still want them?

Thank you softly softly.
I think it's strange that he has stated that he was born in Norway on 2 of the censuses.
