| My grandmother Signe Espeland was forced to leave Norway and her illegitimate baby daughter around 1906/07 and travelled to Canada (NewWesminister, BC). Signe's family in Norway was to raise the baby and I think they were in the Sande, Vestfold County area. Strommen? Anyone with any info would be great. Can't find record of Signe's voyage , proabably travelled under a different last name, maybe Anderesen or Magnesen. |

Nice find on the arrival Kċre. Here is the transcription from Ancestry.com. Looking at the original manifest the first names are very faint but I can read the first name of the first person on the list as Signe. She is travelling to New Westminster B.C. She is listed as 18 years old.

1885 Census
1891 Census
Could be same Margit Espeland, traveling to Canada in 1906
A lot of research on the family was done here
And the family was discussed here on Norway Heritage
Find a Grave memorial, Martin Christopher Espeland,and Alfred Espeland, at New Westminster, BC
A Wordpress bio of Hans Espeland b 1862 and wife Olga - seemingly the family Signe traveled with in 1912
Hans Andersen Espeland and wife Olga getting married here
So the Olga with whom Signe travels in 1912 seems to be her father's brother's wife Olga.
The family discussed here on DIS-Norge
An "Adele Espeland" is mentioned on the link above as married to Olai, son of Kristen Hansen and Marta Espeland (Marta is a sister of Signe's father).
1910 census, on Drydal in Sande, the son Olai Kristensen born 1897, together with parents and siblings. Father is Kristian Hansen Drydal and children might also be found as Hansen or DrydalLink
Again, the family of Olai Dyrdal, in 1900: Link

Johannes Espeland and two of his sons was born in Arna outside Bergen. Jens J. Jebsen owned a wool and garnment factory in Arna
In 1879Jens. J. Jebsen also started a factory in Berger at Strĝmm.
Johannes Espeland and the family moved to Strĝmm before 1898 when a son Arnulf was bor same year.

Nice finds everyone! So the "Adele Espeland" discussed in the DIS-Norge forum (on link) is the same person as Adele Larsen, daughter of Signe Espeland.
DIS-Norge
And Adele Larsen 1911-1991 married Olai (Kristensen or Hansen) Dyrdal (1897-1980). Place of residence given by the burial website is Gyltesĝ.
The DIS-Norge discussion says Olai's sister Olga married Julius Abrahamsen in Canada. If descendants of a sibling to Olai can be found, that could lead to Adele's offspring.
Manitoba, Marriage Index, 1879-1931
Julius Abrahamsen
married
Olga Hansen Dyrdal
Marriage Date: 7 Apr 1916
Marriage Place: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
1916 Canada Census
Grayson, Saltcoats, Saskatchewan
Julias Abrahamson 29 born about 1887 Norway, to Canada 1909
Olga Abrahamson 23 b abt 1893 Norway, to Canada 1916
Bjorn Abrahamson 1 daughter, born in Norway
Haler Clouse 25 single, b Norway
1921 Canada Census
Grayson Municipality, Saltcoats, Saskatchewan
Johne Abrahamson 34 b abt 1887 Norway, to Canada 1908
Olga Margaret Abrahamson 26 b abt 1895 Norway, to Canada 1915
Borgenley Margaret Abrahamson 6 daughter born in Norway
Edna Abrahamson 4 b Saskatchewan
Mildred Abrahamson 3 b Saskatchewan
Irene Abrahamson 2 b Saskatchewan
Lillian Abrahamson 1 b Saskatchewan
This might be the death of same Julius - and note he is at New Westminster.
Name: Julius Abrahamson
Gender: Male
Birth Year: abt 1888
Death Age: 87
Death Date: 24 Mar 1975
Death Location: New Westminster
Registration Number: 1975-09-005797
BCA Number: B13341
GSU Number: 2050441
This Kari Dyrdal is probably or may be a sister to Olai Dyrdal:
Link
So Olga and Kari would be sisters-in-law to Adele, and their children would be first cousins to hers. |
