Hi Ian,
I am amazed at the latest information. It is unbelievable the records you are finding.
I was sad to hear of the demise of Carl. Clearly the death record has confirmed his occupation as a sailor.
The inventory/will for Anders was extremely interesting. It is strange that there is no reference to Gustaf or Hermann, yet Edvard is mentioned but he was living in England at that time. We now know that Carl was dead before then. This gives a very personal insight into him and the way he lived. I can almost visualise his home and possessions. I was very pleased to read it. Now I know he wore glasses and went fishing!
It is intriguing that he appears to have written out Christina's husband just before his death. I look forward to seeing the images.
I was just wondering - do I record the daughters as Andersson or Andersdotter? The baptism records read Andersson.
I am trying to make sense of the records. Some I can make out but others are just a blur of letter. I would never have been able to read them. I am trying to work out how I can print them from the dropbox files. I haven't done it before. I have managed to print one so far. This way I can annotate them to enable me to sequence the events in my head.
I did notice that the message was sent at a late hour so appreciate your efforts.

Hi! Thank you for the latest images and information. What an amazing find! The Will/inventory of Johanna Lang confirms that Edward's brothers also resided abroad. They must have originally lived in a rural location. I am particularly interested in the fact that they appeared to have a shared ownership in a vessel (Jakten Emeli)
I can't thank you enough for this Ian. This means so much to me. There is a mention of a claim from a Olof Lundgrin.Just grasping at straws re the Oliver Anderson named as Edward's father.

I was just wondering - do I record the daughters as Andersson or Andersdotter? The baptism records read Andersson.

I prefer Andersdotter, because that was the way it was back then - Ander's daughter, but if the records state Andersson, then Andersson it is. Maybe Anders and Johanna wanted it that way.
I think you can right what you feel is right.

I think there is a possibility that Edward's brother Gustaf came to England with him. I have found 2 deaths for a Gustaf Anderson - one in 1929 the other 1931. This would give dates of birth around 1864 and 1867. I am probably grasping at straws but may possibly be Gustaf's son. On the 1901 census there is a Gustaf Anderson born Sweden (Swedish subject) sailor, single, boarding with an Albertina Long (widow) and her children Amelia and Maria at 29 Warren Street Sunderland. She was also born Sweden (Swedish subject) and a sailor's lodging house keeper. I can't find an earlier census to establish her husbands name but wondering with the name Long they may be connected. I have Johanna's father as Jonas Long.
Ten years earlier on the 1891 census there is another Gustave  A.B seaman born Gothenburg, Sweden about 1864. He is living with wife Elizabeth at 5 Hedworth Street, Sunderland.
I haven't been able to find any evidence of a Hermann living in Sunderland.

Albertina was Ollsen before her marriage. She was born around 1862 in Gothenburg. She died in 1918 in Sunderland. Her husband was Olof Long also born 1862 Gothenburg. He died in Sunderland in 1901.
