John SMITH married Mary SUISTED

[Beg Clonrode...]

Hi Ian...

Sneaky SVAR :-) They had two volumes (108 and 109) in the one link. I was supposed to scroll through 108 to get to 109. Live and learn.

Here's a very comprehensive website of the ROOS family.

I'll post the relevant part for future google searches of this thread.

***And here is the birth of the uncle, Adolf Frederik SJÖSTEDT (Adolph Frederich SEASTEDT)

Adolf Frederik b.17 Apr 1808
son of G A SJÖSTEDT and C M TENGDIN
(Gustaf Adolf SJÖSTEDT and Catharina Margareta TENGDEN)

Storkyrkoförsamlingens kyrkoarkiv,
Födelse- och dopböcker för oäkta barn, CIb:4 (1791-1828)

I guess the next step is to find all of the children of Gustaf Adolf SJÖSTEDT and Margareta Catharina TENGDEN and see if one of them was a Mary/Maria born c.1811. You'd assume she was the lady on the PERSIA passenger list. (Wonder if that will lead anywhere )

My, you have been busy. Nice tree you found there, a lot of work gone into that!

Yes, it might be worth while looking into this family to see if there is a Mary. Just to get digging I suppose. lol.

Hi Beg

My digging has dug some things up. I have found quite a bit but not the whole family. It looks like Gustaf Adolf Sjöstedt and Margareta Catharina Tengdén lived apart. Here are the notable records. Perhaps you may have a little more luck in finding them:

Danvik-Sicklaö AI:7 (1830-1847) Bild 2930 / sid 576
It says he was made a widow 21 Apr 1833.

Danvik-Sicklaö F:1 (1782-1853) Bild 106 / sid 103
Maria Magdalena FI:6 (1829-1849) Bild 51
Her death was registered in two parishes.

Danvik-Sicklaö AI:5 (1817-1829) Bild 420 / sid 39

Danvik-Sicklaö AI:4 (1782-1819) Bild 293 / sid 560
It says that they belong to Nikolai parish


So, I think they might be in Nicolai or Maria Parishes of Stockholm. There is also a Nicolai in Arboga, the parish/town Gustaf Adolf was born.

The marriage cert states mother of bridegroom: family name at birth as Suisted. (m 11.07.1881) in the house of Mrs Barnett (bride's mother)

That is the only clue Spades that gives me a maiden name for  John Smith's (1856 - 1930) mother is the marriage cert. That is all I have on John's parents thus far.

Hi Debsss
Is it possible to see the certificate?
Also, just curious, do you really know if she was Swedish?

Ian

Hi Ian

Thank you for your interest

No I don't know for sure that Mary SUISTED is Swedish. It's just what all my initial digging has lead to...

I will attach the record :-)

Have also ordered the marriage record from Presbyterian Archives, for any possible clues

[jamcat95]

Thanks for that.....
but it can't be read. It is a bit fuzzy. can you re-do it please.

Hi Ian...

Are you able to decipher the words written in the left hand column.

Maria Magdalena kyrkoarkiv, Husförhörslängder, AIa:7 (1820-1824), page 246
http://www.rootschat.com/links/019ab/


... and if possible the words before Sophia Leontina. (Just wondering who this Sophia is)

Maria Magdalena kyrkoarkiv, Husförhörslängder,AIa:12 (1825-1827), page 91

Thanks

Hi Beg

The first one says "Öfre Badhusgatan" = Upper Swimming Pool Street.
The second says (I think, hard to read) "Oäkta Barn" = Illegitimate Child.

Hi Ian

I've attached a copy of the original marriage cert just received, which has a little more info and is a clearer image.
