Hi Ann,
Thanks for the information. I did not realize there were different classes of waiters and stewards. Now I think about this, it makes good sense. I would guess then, for English g-grandmother to come in contact with Swedish g-grandfather a number of times (enough to make a "spark"), he would probably be a cabin attendant or a deck attendant of some kind.
The time period is 1863/64. They marry in Sydney, Australia in 1865. Family story says they met on ship. Nothing to prove it so far.
