Hi
Sorry my mistake.... it should say 1900 not 1890.

Kvinna = woman.
So "gift kvinna" = married woman.

Many thanks for all of the images, Ian. This new info adds more life to the sea-faring brothers' lives.
You haven't been able to find Oskar's death by any chance? Looking through my notes, I found a date of 11 Oct 1900, but no place or other detail. According to my scribbled note, I found it on familysearch's ancestry file, which is a collection of submitted data. Now that you found the family living in Stockholm, could he have died there too?

I managed to find him.....

He died in Adolf Fredrik parish in Stockholm.
He died 11 Oct 1900 and was buried 17 Oct 1900. He died of Tuberculosis.

Thank you Ian for all of your help. Apart from Karl Albert, I now know a lot about the sea-faring lives of my great grandfather and his brothers.

Hi Darren,
Karl Albert seems to be a mystery. He seems to have disappeared. He did not die in Sweden, according to the databases I have anyway. He must have jumped ship somewhere. There is no record of him in the seaman databases either.

It might be significant that he was listed as Albert in that one record. I will keep searching for him under both names. Erik Magnus mostly went by the name of Magnus here in South Australia.

Cheers,
Darren

I have found Oscar in Härnösand and Stockholm. According to his daughter's birth record he was a captain......

Could this be Albert?
With his brother as captain.
The image didn't work out properly from reply 21.

Yes I think so. That's the record I was referring to when I said about him using Albert, rather than Karl Albert. It's curious that there is only the one record. As you mentioned above, possibly he jumped ship, as you found no record of him dying in Sweden. Could he have died on that voyage?
