Dear All Thanks for your assistance. I've been off-line for a while, so sorry my reply is tardy. The information is great. I'll follow up JM's suggestion to get the official transcript of his marriage. Many thanks Ian for the info about the missing person book and for translating the Swedish details. I think Hindric Persson b1858 is my man as you suggest. Just a bit confusing whether he came to Australia on the Hereward, as stated on the naturalisation certificate )...as a crew member... or on the Blenda as jamcat suggested.
