Hi,
I am researching distant relations who migrated from Australia to South Africa, my 2nd cousin Marian Briscoe married John Young Watson Lindberg in Sydney NSW Australia in 1890. John Lindberg came from Scotland, the son of Captain Otto Magnus Lindberg a Shipmaster and native of Sweden.
After their marriage they moved to Scotland and subsequently to South Africa.
They had two children Linda Elaine Young Lindberg b.1892 Aust and Charles Lenard Lindberg in 1893 in Scotland.
I have a copy of Linda's death certificate in 1969 at Durban, South Africa, shows her husband as Charles Percival Day and they had two daughters Joan Sylvia Cockcroft and Elaine Marion Norman.
Linda married Charles Day on 4.12.1920 at Krugersdorp, Gauteng, South Africa.
That is all the information I can find at this stage, wondering if anyone could assist me in regard to any further information on the family.
The Lindberg family had mining interests in South Africa, John Lindberg was an Electrical Engineer and Spirit Merchant. He died in 1942 in Transvaal,South Africa and Marion died in 1947.
Thanking you
Jan

Probable death for Charles Lenard Lindberg in 1980
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6N7P-FM3Y
There is a detailed WW1 service record for John Young Watson Lindberg which would be worth looking at if you have not already done so.

Hi
This looks to be Otto Magnus Lindberg in Gävle in Sweden around 1860.
He is recorded as living in Dundee:

He is a second mate.

I'm pretty sure this is your Otto.
This is his birth and christening record from Bokenäs Parish:

Small world, I was married in that church.
