Hi all.
While searching my Swedish ancestors a hint has come up for a Swedish record. As i've not got worldwide membership, I'm unable to look at it. Is there anyone who would be willing to look it up for me.
The details are:
Sweden, Select Baptisms, 1611-1920
Birth, Marriage & Death, including Parish
Name Olena Christiansdr
Spouse and. Chr. Andersson

Many thanks
Jackie

Thank you Margaret.
Will try and follow up on those names.
I have Charles Anderson's naturalisation certificate and he lists his parents as Christian and Olena Anderson-I'm guessing that's why Ancestry gave me this hint. I shall try and find out if he had a sister called Caroline.
Many thanks
Jackie

Could this be the one you want

Sweden, Select Baptisms, 1611-1920 No Image
Text-only collection

Name: Olena Christiansdr
Gender: Female
Spouse: Anders Christian Andersson
Child: Carolina Anders Christiansdotter

As no date is given, I have no idea if this record is related, but Ancestry has a suggested Records entry for Olena Christiandtr, dated 1862, with image -

Via me and google translate

Extract from 1862 death book for Bro -------( this is probably the equivalent of our village, town, RD etc

This from a column headed something along the lines of -

Kin, Baptismal name, office, profession, standing, residence, nationality and religious beliefs, minor, parents names occupation and residence -

Caroline ---------- Anders Christ Andersson and --------Olena Christiandtr

This from column for age at death, month, day

Age 2 14 July

Cause of death - unreadable I'm afraid to make any sense of it for google translate !!

I'll try and send the document to you via PM

Thank you so much Maddie. This looks like it is the right family.
I have the name of Charles Severin Anderson, who says he was born on 28th August 1855, on his naturalisation certificate......
It looks like he was born CARL Severin Andersson, as you have posted above! (The birthdate is the same)...
He was married 3 time in Cardiff, under the name Charles. I have yet to find his death though......
Once again, many thanks
Jackie

Thanks alviegal.
He's on the 1911 census and must have died sometime between then and 1939.
I came across some seaman's records for a Charles Anderson, but I think they belong to another Charles Anderson who was also born in 1855 in Sweden. He lived in Sunderland / Liverpool though??
Jackie

EDIT: thank you alviegal....The medal record above is definitely him- The address matches one that I have for the family.. Will check out the other 2 when I can get on to Find My Past (I'm having trouble logging in atm) :-(

No other info on these deaths. That's if he was still at sea of course.

He would have been a great age to have been any of these at sea...But anything is possible! :-)
