Naturalization Record

[jamcat95]

Just trying to figure out why (if correct family) Charles named his father also Charles.......
The reason I think was that Iver died when he was 8 which might mean he perhaps couldn't remember him that much....?

Iver Henning's death record - 1841 - nr 25:

Jomot and Jamcat --- what seemingly wonderful finds you have made. Great information.

I'm going to sit in my 'inadequate corner' now!

Hi Pennines

I do really think that this could be Charles' family.

I do agree with you, as Charles is an anglicised version of Carl -- and the birth year fits - along with the father's occupation. Let's face it we don't often see an occupation of Horse Doctor or Vet do we - most unusual really.

I must admit that it is the first time I have seen a vet in the Scandinavian Church Books.

Well you certainly don't belong there, so get out of it right now.......

Aaah -- thank you Jomot --- you are very kind.

I would like to thank you all for your help in trying to identify my Charles Henning, I am dumbfounded at this latest suggestion, I dont know what to make of it all. Both the US and the Norwegian families are possibilities, but both have assumptions, so without evidence I remain on the fence.
I have heard back regarding the 1868 naturalization record  and there is no more information than what is shown. Still waiting for the death cert of the Charles who died in Kearny, New Jersey.
