Do you know where his wife Sarah Elizabeth was born (21-4-1879), or the name of her parents? You mentioned she was a Dutch girl who lived in East London.

Here is a sailor named Johan Sandersen, away sailing to Australia but listed with his parents in Oslo in 1900. I didn't find him in 1910 census:

Well, here the birth/baptism of Johan Ingvard Sandersen #69:

Thank you. I hadn't found that website before.

Her parents were Andre and Isabella Elizabeth Englebrecht. That's all I know. They were witnesses at the grandchildren's baptisms.

I've searched through the following record set (Sailor's rolls from Oslo) Oslo fylke, Oslo mønstringskontor, Yngre ruller, Annotasjonsruller, Annotasjonsrulle 3 (SAO/A-10569g/F/Fc/Fca/L0003), 1887-1902, oppb: Statsarkivet i Oslo.

and found no Herman Sandersens. There were only two Sandersens the Johan Ingvard already noted and another named Olaf Johannes Sandersen. I don't have my notes with me right now but will post links to their entries in the rolls.

Olaf Johannes Sandersen b. 16 Feb 1870 #5390 did go AWOL in 1889 and he had been to England prior to that, not sure I see South Africa as any destination, though:

There were several Hermans with other last names on the rolls.

Thank you so much for continuing to try and help me! I am still manually sifting through South African death notices in the area him and his wife passed away. As soon as I find one for either of them, I should have more information to aid in searching! :)

Looking forward to further information. At least a post or two keeps your topic from slipping off page 1....

My gut feeling says that Herman Sandersen was from Østfold county, and possibly near the cities Fredrikstad/Sarpsborg, but I don't have any proof to substantiate my claim...

Very few maritime specialists in upper Buskerud fylke so you could easily be right....

Well I've gone through 1400 estate files so far trying to find his wife's death record. Since he died before 1962, I don't have internet access to estate files around his time of death; but they put the estate file number of the spouse (pre-deceased) on the death record.

If I can find the wife, then I can contact the archives in South Africa with the estate file number for Herman Sandersen himself. That will hopefully give us all some answers!

Well, I've completed all the estate files for 1962, and am unable to find his wife.

I am not sure what else to do now - seems like a dead end.

All I can think of is to hire someone in South Africa to go digging through the 1958 estate files to try find Herman Sandersen for me. But since it's not been scanned and put onto computers, it would take a really long time for them to do. *sigh*

An exceedingly long shot, Anton Herman Alexandersen b. 19 June 1885 (not a good match to the recorded birth year of 1874) #51:
Kildeinformasjon: Østfold fylke, Onsøy i Onsøy, Ministerialbok nr. 5 (1878-1898), Fødte og døpte 1885, side 124.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=5476&idx_id=5476&uid=ny&idx_side=-128

He did go to sea registering in Fredrikstad, though.

Here is Anton Herman Alexandersen in 1891 census transcription as a foster child:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft/person/pf01052689002515

Here is Anton Herman Alexandersen between 3162 & 3163, last voyage recorded in this record ended 8 May 1907:
Kildeinformasjon: Østfold fylke, Fredrikstad mønstringskontor, Yngre ruller, Annotasjonsruller, Annotasjonsrulle 5 (SAO/A-10569b/F/Fc/Fca/L0005), 1884-1899, oppb: Statsarkivet i Oslo.
Merknader: Annotasjonsrulle, patent nr. 1450-4000.
Permanent sidelenke: http://arkivverket.no/URN:db_read/db/41994/364/

The previously mentioned Sander who came to Hallingdal from Scotland was thought to actually been named Alexander in his Scottish period, so perhaps Herman Sandersen in South Africa came by Sandersen as a smoothed down version of Alexandersen?

Sarah Elizabeth's parents were Andre and Isabella Elizabeth Englebrecht.
Herman & Sarah's children were Martha Johanna Elizabeth, Peter Henry (Peters Henerick), Arthur Herman, Agnes, Sarah Elizabeth, William and Sylvester.

The reason I asked for Sarah's parents, was to see if any of the children was named after the grandparents. If so; the name of Hermans parents would also be among the names of their children.
My first thought was that Hermans parents would be named Peter & Martha Johanna, but unfortunately it doesn't look so....?
Elizabeth is a name that is repeated though, so maybe Hermans mother was Martha Johanna?

Oh by the way.. The first child that I'm aware of was born in 1907, so he must have arrived in South Africa roughly 9 months to a year before that.

Give me your opinion on this idea...

I just looked at Herman's first child's baptism record again, and it appears his first name was first written in as Sander - it was then scribbled out and replaced with Hermann. I know that when people moved over to countries they often changed their names (last names mostly, but I am sure many changed their first names as well).

So I looked up Sander Sandersen, and got an immediate hit that looks promising to me...

Name Sander Sandersen
Gender Male
Birth Date 18 Dec 1874
Birthplace Varteig, Østfold, Norway
Christening Date 10 Jan 1875
Christening Place Varteig, Østfold, Norway
Father's Name Syver Sandersen
Father's Age 1852
Mother's Name Tilla Marie Svennungsdr
Mother's Age 1849

^^^^^ This has the exact year of birth we've been looking for.... Has the Østfold gut feeling you have included... AND the father's name is Syver --- Herman had a son named Sylvester who was always called Sylvie.

Could this be him????
