Konrad Emmanuel Wikman from Finland

[Squirrelly]

Konrad Emmanuel Wikman was born in Finland on 13 Dec 1872 and died in Llangollen in 1958.

He married Gertrude Marion Rastall (nee Dennick) on 21 Dec 1918 in Pontfadog.  Her first husband was KIA in WW1. Konrad is shown as a sailor on the marriage certificate and his father Edward Emmanuel Wikman (deceased) was a customs officer.

In 1939 Konrad and Gertrude are living in Llangollen and he is a labourer.

I have failed to find either of them on the 1921 census.

I would like to find out how and when he arrived in Britain and anything about his parents (possibly from Finland too).

Any help appreciated, as always.

Many thanks in advance

For Gertrude Marion and daughter Dorethy(Dorethea) in 1921 search for surname COCKMAN, on FINDMYPAST & ANC*. Address as per their marriage certificate and Dorthea's baptism. No Konrad present.

SS

added, image clearly shows Wilman, + 3 Rastall children

It is possible he had 3 siblings. Johan Edvard Wikman and 2 others
