Finland - Klamon
« on: Wednesday 24 August 05 11:05 BST (UK) »
My maternal great grandmother was an immigrant from Finland (b.1843) and her name was Charlotte Christiana Klamon.  She married my great grandfather Alfred Hoole in England c1860 but I have been unable to find the date of the marriage.  Unfortunately I do not know what date she arrived in this country or the destination city.  This is a real brick wall - any ideas how I can find out please?

https://192.49.222.187/Nimipalvelu/default.asp?L=3 - you can search for surnames here to find out how common a surname is.  There are no Klamon
and only a small number of Klaman. Klamas and Klami were other similiar surnames.

The time around 1860 is not fully transcribed on freebmd, you may wish to use one of the pay-sites and search through all the likely quarters for her.

Thanks very much for this.  I have actually tried Ancestry.com and 1837online without any joy but I'll re-visit and try again.
