Death circa 1883 Henerak Hansen

[TAMOWEN4]

Hi

In 1885 my grandmother was born in Greenock. I have her birth certificate. Gran was the daughter of James Jamieson and Susan McMillan.

On my grans birth certificate it has beside Susan McMillans name [ Widow of Henerak Hansen a Seaman who had died fully 2 years before]

I have viewed their marraige in Greenock 1869 on SP. I also viewed Susan McMillans death on SP.

Trouble is I cannot find a record of the death of Henerak and the spelling of the surname seems to change ie Hansen/Hansan/Hanson. At a guess he died around 1883.

any help appreciated

this is just a thought, as Henerak Hansen is not a common name
I wonder if she just told the registrar that he was dead,
there is a Henrick Hanson on the 1901 census
living at 3 George Square Greenock
his year of birth is 1844 Norway
and he is living with
Josephine Hansen (wife) born (Norwegian subject) 1846
lottie Ness born 1895 Greenock (grandaughter)
Ingeboreg Arnold born 1886 Norway (Niece)
Elaine
ps do you have them on the other censuses

1881 census Henrick has aged 38, born Denmark. There looks to be a Susan born to the couple in 1882 who died in 1883. If the father is shown as deceased on the 1883 cert, that could help tie down when Henrick died. Being a seaman, he may have died at sea.

Thanks for that Elaine,

yes I had much of that info. The Susan at the bottom of the list is my gran Susan Owen (nee Jamieson also Hansen or McMillan). the date of birth is out, she was born 1885.

The other Susan Hansen is Susan McMillan, the widow of Henerak Hansen (the seaman).

William John and Hendrick are 2 of the children of Henerak and Susan.

As I said previously elder Henerak is noted as Henry Hendry and maybe even Hendrick and Hansan/Hansen and Hanson all appear for the same people.

Hi,

There is this from the GRO Marine Death Index 1883 - Henrick Hanson aged 39 on the vessel Desdemona page 46.  Does the age tally with his marriage details
