New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Hovding 1873 Crew/deserters

Hello Simon
I did not get to the bottom of it but suspect he was a crew member possibly on the Hovding.
When he left Sweden his birth name was Theodore Frans Bergstrom but in New Zealand he was know as William Francis Anderson - bit of a coincidence that we have an Anderson as you do.
It would be great to locate the crew list to set this search to bed.
Happy hunting
