Thure Constantin (Thomas) Soderstrom 1871–1917

[paulwilliams]

Hi,
Trying to find out more about my relative who was born Åland Islands, Ahvenanmaa, Finland in 1871
to parents Petter Thure Soderstrom  and Emma Sofia Danielsdotter. It appears his parents may have come to South Wales date unknown. Thomas lived in Skewen, his wife was Annie Davies 1876–1955.
Thomas died as a result of a uboat attack.
Any help would be most welcome.
Kind Regards
Paul Williams

Thomas married Annie Davies in Swansea in 1900.

What is the evidence for his parents having been in the UK at any time?
