Hi Beg
We're joining forces again
If I recall correctly, you pointed out sometime ago we can't really trust the findings in this book, am I right?
Hi Ian... the book is definitely hit and miss. More miss than hit :-)
Having said that, I suspect in this instance it's a hit because of the
Memorial for Naturalisation mentioned by John in reply #7. The author Sten AMINOFF was pretty much given carte blanche at NZ Archives and the info he gives for our man is pretty specific. I suspect he's working off the Memorial.
Fingers crossed.
Am waiting with bated breath for your translation of the father's occupation... major-general?
Can you give me the names of Carl's children please. It may come in handy.
I suspect they're the following NZ birth registrations...
Year, Ref#, Surname, Child's name(s), Mother, Father
1870/21065, ANDERSON, Annie Louisa, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1873/23028, ANDERSON, John, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopord,
1874/34613, ANDERSSON, Alfred, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1876/07185, ANDERSON, Mary, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1877/12539, ANDERSON, Edith, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1878/16588, ANDERSON, Alexander, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1879/15664, ANDERSON, Searl Leopold, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1882/14672, ANDERSON, May, Mary Louisa, Carl Leopold, ,
1884/09544, ANDERSON, Roy, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1885/10570, ANDERSON, Nellie, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1886/14707, ANDERSON, Ernest Albert, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
1889/08422, ANDERSON, Ella Kathleen, Louisa Mary, Carl Leopold
Svenska in NZ says Carl had 9 children so some of the children may have pre-deceased him.
I think that in
Svenska in NZ the "Number of children" seems to be taken from the "Number of Living Issue" found in the NZ Deaths register.
Regards
Beg
