Europe / John Olsen - Sweden to Wales.
« on: Friday 06 February 09 00:02 GMT (UK) »
Hello I'm new! I'm not sure whether to put this message in Wales, or Immigrants....
I’m looking for any information about a John Olsen born Sweden in about 1838.
He died in Ffestiniog district Wales in 1881, aged 43.
He married in Pwllheli March quarter 1870 to a Catherine Williams, but he isn’t on any of the censuses with his wife and children as he was a mariner.
I think I’ve found him on the 1881 census on the ship “Candace” in Caernarvonshire, Wales, he’s listed as mate and married (aged 42).
I’m new at researching and have no further information. Any more information will be gratefully received.
