Tracing the men who jumped ship
« on: Thursday 12 November 15 04:08 GMT (UK) »
Did the Police hold records of crew who jumped ship in Lyttelton in the 1870s?
My Swedish 2 x Great Grandfather was a deserter and I would like to find out more about him.

You could search for him in Papers Past - the Christchurch papers have reports of ships' deserters.

Hi Xashus
Can you give me his name and details please. I have access to a number of record collections here in Sweden.

Hi Ian, His name is Peter Anderson/Andersen and he was born about 1832. His Naturalisation records states that he was from Goteborg. He married Petrine Peterson (from Denmark) in Le Bon's Bay School in December 1874. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Fiona

Hi
Do you have his marriage certificate? It might state his father's name.

That's a pity. I'll see what I can find.

Thanks Ian. I have been doing my family genealogy for quite some time and Peter is one of my brick walls. Fiona
