Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Albert Edward OLSEN and descendants from HULL
« on: Sunday 21 November 04 14:23 GMT (UK)  »

Thanks for the info Bee but I believe that is not the Albert Olsen I'm looking for. I popped along to the National Archives at Kew yesterday and trawled through the Naturalization records they have and I could not find an Albert Edward Olsen listed. I also have, in the past, looked though the electoral rolls held in the Local Studies section the Central Library, Hull and Albert is not listed until 1914 (and then only sporadically until his death in 1933).

I also checked his two marriage and his death certificates (which by chance arrived yesterday morning) and in 1901 he would have been aged between 22 and 25 (depending on which certificate you go by.

Mentioned on the certificates is that his father was called Carl Olsen and was a Deep Sea Pilot by trade.

Thanks again anyway.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Albert Edward OLSEN and descendants from HULL
« on: Saturday 20 November 04 01:10 GMT (UK)  »
I'm am looking for information on my Great Grandfather Albert Edward Olsen. He emigrated from Sweden to the UK sometime prior to 1906.

He married Mary Elizabeth Coates at St Mark's (St Mark Street) in 1907 and they had eight children (Albert Carl, William Turi, George Edward [mr grandfather], Alan, Stanley, Norah (who emigrated to the USA) and Walter and Kathleen who died as infants.

My research on the Olsen line of my family has come to a dead end with Albert as I have only vauge info on him before he arrived in Hull.

I have search though the Naturalization Records in the national Archives in London and he is not mentioned there at all.

In this country he worked for the LNER from 1906 until his death in 1933.

If anyone can help, any info will be gratefully received.

Many Thanks ???

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: St Mark's Hull - 1880 - does it exist?

I recently stumbled upon a website that lists all the Anglican parishes/churches in Hull. I apologize but I can't remember the name of the site but I navigated it via the Hull Council site (www.hullcc.gov.uk)

St Mark's is mentioned as follows;

"...St Marks (in the Groves), St Mark's Street, Hull.

It was concerated in 1844 with the district taken from Sutton and the extra-parochial district of Garrison Side in 1844. It was badly damaged during WW2 and closed in 1948 and demolished in 1958/9. The parish was combined with that of St Saviour. The site is now occupied by industry...".

I went for a walk around the area when i last visited Hull during the summer as many of my family lived in Hodgson Street at the turn of the 19th/20th century.


Hope this is of some use to you.

St Mark's was located on St Marks Street, off New Cleveland Street in Hull. My Great Grandparents were married there in 1907. The church closed in the 1950s and was subsequently demolished. Today, the site is covered with light industrial units. The church was located next to two gasometer's (which are still there today).
