A hard nut.
Peter Andreas was born in Sweden ca 1880?
- Father Peter Petersen ships captain
- Mother Anna Elisabeth Svenungsdatter.
He lived in Oslo before he em. to N. Zealand, perhaps with a brother
Noramally Sweden has the -son ending in lastnames and Norway -sen
Svenung/Svenungsen sounds Norwegian, but no rules without exception.

These are those in the 1900 Norwegian census whose first name starts with Pe, last name starts with Pe, who were born 1880 in Sweden. None live in Oslo:

| Jan Peter, I would guess the Petersen/Fowler link is the right family. A GENI family tree gives a little more info (not much). The discussion on your link says Peter was born in Oslo (no source - seems to be a family's memory). The newspaper article mentions a Peter of an earlier generation (he is familiar with the waterfront since 1883). |

Hi, sorry i should have been a bit more specific. Yes most of it it what the family has said by mouth. No documentation. It was saidt hat he was born in Sweden but birth registered in Norway?. The family has a document to do with paternity of his children from marriage to Edith Fowler 1920 as after their marriage ended she had another partner and more children. That is the document that listed Peter Andreas Parents.One of the family got a copy of the Peter Andreas Petersen(sea Captain from Wellington) Probate Will in the reply above and worked out it wasn't the same person. This Peter A Petersen died on or about 25/11/1935 , and his wife had died 1924, he left 4 children,Anna Dorothea, Andrew Gerhard, Frederick Ferdinand and John Gordon. With his marriage to Edith Fowler 1920, the third child was born 1924, the other 2 before that, so it didn't seem o fit with the dates. Although a coincidence with the same names. Peter A Petersen also had his occupation listed as Bushman. thank you for all the replies and help, we might get a bit further to finding something. |

The we can perhaps assume his confirmation was taken place in Oslo ca 1895.

Hi - I've been working on my family tree - and think I have some matches with Peter Andreas Petersen... Working from the NZ Births Deaths and Marriages database (no certificates - they're too expensive), I get Peter Andreas Petersen, born abt 1852, died abt 1935. Married twice - first marriage abt 1875 to Eline Nielson (b abt 1849, d abt 1924), and three children:
Frederick Ferdinand Petersen (b abt 1882, d (and I'm not 100% sure about this, his BDM record was just listed as Ferdinand - abt 1961, age 79). Married Edith Matilda Collins (b 11 May 1882, d Abt 1973 - my distant connection). Children - Dorothy Frances Petersen (b abt 1911) and Phyllis Elaine Petersen (b abt 1914).
John Gordon Peterson (b abt 1885, d abt 1957), married Adeline Annie Harley (b abt 1882, d abt 1953). Children John Andreas Gordon Peterson (b abt 1911) and Betty Elina McCutcheon Peterson (b abt 1912).
Richard George Edward Gordon Petersen (b abt 1888, d abt 1889 - age 2 months).
Peter Andreas Petersens second marriage (abt 1920) was to Edith Fowler - other than the marriage date, I can't get a birth or death date for Edith - there's too many Edith Fowlers/Petersens in the BDM database. Ordering some printouts would help. As for children - I can only search those born before 1915, due to the database restrictions - and given Peter was 68 when he married Edith, I doubt there were any... A copy of his death certificate (or a record printout would be better - more info) would give more indication as to progeny. |

Probably the same family in the 1875 Census. Looks like the father has died.
NHDC 1875
If the above post by Steveb is correct that he was married in 1875, this Petter Pedersen does not look very possible. |

I just double checked - 1st thing was that I typo'd Eline's name - it's Neilsen, not Nielson... 
As for Peter Andreas DOB - I worked it backwards from the death record -
1935/23267 Petersen Peter Andreas 83Y - so if he was 83 at death date - he was born around 1852. Which works for the marriage and 3 births to Eline - not so well for the marriage to Edith Fowler - unless he was a lot older then recorded by denstew.
Here's the two marriage records:
1920/5894 Edith Fowler Peter Andras Petersen
1875/1590 Eline Neilsen Peter Andreas Petersen
And the births for Peter and Eline:
1882/19037 Petersen Frederick Eline Peter Andred
1885/11844 Petersen John Gordon Eline Peter Andreas
1888/8803 Petersen Richard George Edward Gordon Eline Peter Andreas
Feel free to check online yourselves - here's the link to the NZ BDM search - https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/
You can search back to 1840, and up to 100 years ago for births, and 80 years ago for marriages. Deaths a bit closer... The first 4 digits of the record number generally relate to the date the event occurred - but not always. Sometimes it's the date the record (or a group of records) was entered. Sometimes the death record will give an actual date of birth - but usually just an age (sometimes approximate).
If you want definite confirmation, you can order a copy of the record printout (better than a copy of the certificate, as more data) online - about NZ$27 per record.
The record for Peter and Ediths marriage gives Peter Andras - not Andreas - but the misspelling is not uncommon for the older records. Sometimes errors in transcribing handwritten records, and sometimes just errors when they were first written down.
Hope all this helps! |

| Whups - that "You can search back to 1840, and up to 100 years ago for births, and 80 years ago for marriages. Deaths a bit closer..." should read 'You can search from 1840 up until 100 years ago for births, and up until 80 years ago for marriages. Deaths can be searched up until now - but it depends on when the person being searched was born'. |
