Hello, My relative Samuel Johnson born 1856 (+-2 years) has put on his census information (1881,1891,1901,1911) that he is from Norway. In the 1891 census he actually puts down a place name, or so I think it is. I am sure for that census they were still filled in by the census officer so not sure if the officer has written the name correctly.
Samuel's daughter's surname was actually recorded as Johansen. She was born in Broadstairs. He lived in Broadstairs as a Brewer's Drayman. Just incase this is helpful to anyone.
The place name looks like 'fuiustae' (including the lowercase f. I am most likely completely wrong but can't see how to attach a copy of the image for anyone to see for themselves. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sarah |

If you go to a website which offers you a search of the 1865 Norwegian census and conduct a search you can probably narrow down the possibilities.
Try http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/folketellinger_avansert_e.aspx
In the first box choose to search for First Name (pull down option) and enter in the box Sam%
In the second box choose to search for Surname and enter in the box Jo%n%
The % is the search wildcard and will allow spelling variations to be included in the results.
Below that leave only Male selected and for birth year enter first 1854 and second 1858.
Now click on the button to choose the 1865 census.
Then click on the SEARCH button. The website will give you a list of the possible matches to the search functions chosen.

Very nice Vivi, It could be Grimstad but it is so poorly written that it could be a lot of things.
I think the reference to Ramsfok ? England is probably Ramsgate. Note on the 1891 English census above this reference.
Sub registration district: Ramsgate
Also his daughter Ingeborg was born in Ramsgate.

1885 census, two of Samuel's brothers are seamen; Johan A Olsen's offspring vary between Johansen and Andreasen:
link
Birth of Anders 15 April 1862
link
1900
Anders and family
Census says Anders is in America
link
1910
The family uses the name Morholt
Anders is noted as being in New York
link
Descendants of Anders talk about the family living on Staten Island, New York
link
1941 death of Anders
link
Ole was using the last name Andreasen in 1885. Here's Ole as Ole A Morholt
Two sons are seamen - one is in Sweden, one is at sea traveling from England to Pernambuco
link
Birth of Ole 22 January 1865
link
Tracking the probable siblings of your Samuel can lead to contact with descendants, which may help to confirm the connection. |

| Thank you all, you have been so helpful. I agree I believe it to be Grimstad. You have all given me a lot to think about! |
