Norwegian Surnames

Hi

Would WILSON have been a common surname in Norway in the 1830's

Hi
No. Not really. It wasn't really a Scandinavian surname.
Are you looking for a Norwegian Wilson?

I suspected as much.
Its a long story, I have an immigration record for a Charles Wilson into the US in the 1860's, and suspect the name is an alias, a cover up used by an elusive ancestor. Thanks.

I have just found your threads. I can dig a little in Norway to see if anything comes up.

Thanks Ian, very kind but I am probably clutching at straws so please dont spend time on it.

No worries. I am also intrigued with the Henning surname.
