| I am looking for any information on Hilda Louisa Borresen who came to Australia from Norway. She was married in Australia in 1913 at the age of 32. I am unable to find any record of the ship she arrived on or the date of arrival. Her sister, Agnes would have been with her. Her father was Johan Bernharth Borresen and her mother was Hilda Louisa Isaksen. She was born in Christiana, Norway. |

Iridge,
Your posting hasn't been ignored. I have tried the normal investigations, and can not come up with a match to the names you have given. I do think the last name is spelled Børresen, which has not helped either.
If you have any more information that could narrow the search parameters it would be appreciated.

Hi Les, Many thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get any further information on Hilda Borresen, not even a date of arrival or a ship. I am going to follow up and see if she was a naturalised Australian, though I doubt it will contain any more than what I have. If I find anything different I will let u know.

Hi,
I have been looking for Hilda Louisa Borresen (Børresen?) in several records, no luck so fare.
She should be in the 1900 census, perhaps or likley her last name was Johansdatter in Norway, named after her father Johan.
The names Hilda Louisa Borresen, Johan Bernharth Borresen and Hilda Louisa Isaksen were not very common, great advantage for you.

Why should she be in the 1900 census?
Leigh doesn't say anything about the year of emigration, only that she was married in Australia in 1913.
The whole family could have emigrated on a ship bound for Australia in the 1880's or 1890's.
It would be of value to know the sources for the information stated in the first topic;
Did Hilda Louisa Borresen marry in 1913?
Why do you think her sister Agnes was with her? (Was she a witness in the wedding?)
What are the sources for her parents being Johan Bernharth Borresen and Hilda Louisa Isaksen? The wedding record?
Any traces of the parents in Australia?

No, you are right, why should she?
I think she left before 1900.
Did she go with her parents? Cant find them in the 1900 census, or did they both die before 1900?
I find an interesting person from Lier parish in Buskerud county leaving for New Zealand in 1873, could be Johan Bernharths brother, age 22, married, saddlemacker, his name was Anton Bernhard Borresen married to Oline Kristine Paulsdatter and a child at age 5, Caroline.
Does this names mean anytingg to you?

Hi all, thank you all very much for the interest in my search, it is wonderful the help you get from the other side of the world. All the information that I have for Hilda Louisa Borresen is what I got from her marriage certificate which took place in Australia in 1913. Her sister married and lived in Townsville, Australia. Her father is listed as a sailor deceased and her mothers name as Hilda Louisa Isaksen on the wedding certificate. So the three women presumedly came to Australia on their own.

Iridge,
How do you know they are from Norway? Maybe they came from Sweden.
