I have tried an online translator for Anders death notice but not getting too far, any chance you can translate, only if it is not too much trouble.

Shipyard worker born in Tuna 27 Aug 1809. Arrived 1832. Married 28 Dec 1833. Leaving behind a wife and 2 children of which 1 is of age.
He died of something to do with his lungs. (I cannot make it out).


I got his occupation wrong earlier. But he could still have worked with wood in the shipyard.

Thanks for the translation. When it says arrived 1832 does that mean he arrived in Vastervick in that year given he married the following year.

 Also when he jumped ship in 1859 perhaps he went home because his father died that year? Just a thought.

On the Hilda Maree Olsen post I have now found where she and her son were buried. Now a public park!!

Yes he arrived in Västervik 1832.

Now to find Hilda Maree somewhere in Scandinavia.

Probably not as he was a wanted man.

Here is the place Claes jumped ship from the original page:
2 other seamen jumped ship with him.
