charles Brown born sweden 1832

[jolby]

hello

I'm thinking this may be a long shot but I am at a lost where to search, my 3x great granddad was Charles Brown a seaman ,and according the  census he was born around 1832 Sweden. he married Sarah Ann Holman in hull (although she is from exeter,devon) 1853, I do not have the cert but on the ancestry index it says his dad was Magnus brown. Charles and Sarah  do not appear on a census together in 1861 she is in Exeter and 1871 Cardiff both times a mariners wife.
i have the 1881 census a  widower living with edith brown b 1865 at 22 amhurst street cardiff this census states born hull but all the others say sweden british subject.
1891 living with married  daughter edith thomas and her family, amhurst street
1901 and 1911 census all in cardiff and he died 1917 cardiff.
I have found in the Dorset, England, Crew Lists, 1863-1914 on ancestry a charles brown 1832 from gothenburg (a possible him ) on ship Aurora based poole.
Any help greatfully received please. id like to trace him back to sweden or at least to when he came here
thank you

Hi Jo
The index doesn't by any chance state Magnus' occupation?

No it doesn’t looks like I will have to order the cert for that . Which I will if needed but the only thing it will tell me that I don’t no is his occupation

Hi
The reason why I ask is because I have found a Magnus Brun (Brown in Swedish) who was a seaman.

The problem with this Magnus is that I cannot find much more for him. Here is his birth record:

........ and beginning to wonder if he may be a bit too old.
