[neil 2]

Hi In the 1901 census florence M Haagensen  think she is now using Maud as her second name is living with Peter J HAAGENSEN AT 90 CHARLTON STREET GRIMSBY WITH  OLAF,wILLIAM AND ADELA.ITS ALL SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT JUST a bit of confusion.

Neil,

You'll have to bear with me as I've got loads of info but most of it's on paper. I'll try to get around to sorting it out properly as soon as I can.

Just had a word with my father and he can remember an Oliver and he thinks he used to be a policeman or dock policeman. Does that ring a bell?

If it's the right Oliver, he was my grandmother's brother. Her name was Violet Haagensen b. 1916. Peter and Maude Florence had about 8 or so children in all.

Hi NOT SURE ABOUT OLIVER BEING A Police ,but my grandad was .I will try and find a Violet Haagensen.Thanks For you help.
Cheers Neil.

Hi Jan, sorry for the late reply. Thanks for looking in the Norwegian archives.

Yes that looks very likely the birth of 'our' Peter John Haagensen. Is 'Helmsman' part of his name or some kind of title etc, as I've not come across this in association with Peter J. before?

Incidentally, I have yet to find a link between Peter Henrik Haagensen, in the opening post, and Peter John Haagensen, who is a definite relation, this despite the family believing they/we were related.

Hi again!

Johan Peter's father Haagen (could also be spelt Haakon/Håkon) is a helmsman in the merchant navy, as far as I can judge. Tricky handwriting, but I think this family lives in Baggaden in Fredrikstad...

Yes his usual spelling is Haakon but Hakon and Hagen/Hagon often turns up. Sometimes Haagensen is shortened to Haagens. too.

Have you tried looking for your "Peter Johns" father Haagen in the 1865-census? His marriage to Johanne Marie? His birth in 1852?

If he was born 1852 a marriage early 1870's is likely, but where? Fredrikstad-area, several parishes possible...
