Thanks for that, I'm finding it a bit strange the his fathers first name was Jensen? Possible his wife didn't really know. I know that in Norway they used
the fathers first name with sen for son of and datter father for daughter of for the surname..

:) the birth of Fran May, at Rmond, with parents as Andw JENSEN and Mary LEEDHAM. The ref no. 15279/1894. That birth cert should give you details of where and when Andew and Mary were married, and info about Frances May's older siblings.

Looking for any info on Andrew Jensen, who was married to Mary Leadham unknown date of marriage, one child born to them known was May Frances Jensen born abt 1894.
I have discovered Andrew died in 1914 and is buried in the old Melbourne cemetery along with his wife. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Hope you will not mind a comment here. The cemetery as stated in the Funeral Notice is the Melbourne General Cemetery, not the Old Melbourne Cemetery
The Old Melbourne Cemetery ceased operating about 1853.
I have checked my resource for a headstone for Andrew JENSEN, but there is not one.

Thanks for that

It looks as if Andrew JENSEN applied for naturalisation in 1904.
The 8 page document can be searched from here.
https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/SearchScreens/BasicSearch.aspx
He was from Norway. Is that your understanding? He arrived in Australia in 1884 and was living i Richmond at application.

Hi
According to his naturalization record he was born 15 Oct 1863 in Slagen Parish and according to his death record his parents were Jensen Christiansen and Annie Erickson.
He was actually born in Fon Parish:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pgh/ - nr 35 - parents as Christian Nielsen and Anne Karine Andersdatter
His confirmation record 1878:
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01pgi/ - nr 15 - parents as Kristian Nilsen and Anne Karine Eriksdatter.
Not too sure what to make of the mother's surnames but probably an error.

I'm finding it a bit strange the his fathers first name was Jensen
If you look at registrations on VICBDM, you will see that it is common practice to have father’s surname first.

Hi Freya
I'll answer your question here.
I don't really know why he used the surname Jensen but I have seen many seamen from Scandinavia change their names after they had jumped ship. He may well have been one of them.
Ian
-
Yeah thanks.
I have a Lars Ellingsen where oral family history says he jumped ship, but he didn’t change his family name on arrival it was thought he just blended in with other gold rush seekers😬Re Andrew Jensen I was thinking his wife who was English prob didn’t really know his fathers names as she gave that info on his dc., it didn’t occur to me of a name change, which is so different to his fathers names...so can we be sure that this is him that was found as also mother’s name is a wee bit different in some docs😬
