Now thee was also this arrival record. By data it looked like the same guy.
Elias Olsen
in the Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935Name: Elias Olsen
Gender: Male
Arrival Age: 29
Birth Year: abt 1898
Birth Country: Norway
Departure Port: Liverpool, England
Arrival date: 14 May 1927
Arrival Port: Quebec, Canada
Vessel: Aurania
Original says he is from Arkara Norway,,
Going to friend Thor Johnson, Prince Rupert BC. and left wife Mrs. Hanna Olsen, Aarkara PR, Stavanger
We can look deeper and see if there were two guys with the same name, from the same area and going to the same friend in Prince Rupert BC but who arrived a different year and are actually two different people.
If there are two I followed one of them, probably the second guy to Alaska, to the east coat and where he died in New Bedford Mass. |

Of these Hans Elias Olsen Ness is the only one born in Bergen.
Here he is in 1922 Bergen Municipal census:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01065522090161
Here he is in 1910 with parents and sibs. This census gives birthplace as Aarstad:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036707006817
And in 1900:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01037334001872
In his mother's dødfallsprotokol (abbreviated probate record) Hans is carried as Hans Næss and is living in Canada. Amongst his male siblings most appear to use Næss except one who went with Olsen. The mother died late Dec 1930 :

#1001
____________________________________________________
Peder Elias Olsen Brekke the baker, is probably this man who died in California. Birthdate in US differs by 5 days to Peder's in the 1910 census of 28 April 1898.

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036755000644
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jørgen Elias Olsen Parr was born 18 Dec 1901 in Sunnylven. He may be this George E Parr, Norwegian, 33, working as crew aboard the SS Westfjord, going from Prince Rupert BC to Seattle Wash. in 1935:https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KDZD-XMH
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036758000811

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01065522047754
In 1926 he goes to US to his brother Martin Olsen at Fonda, Iowa.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXL8-7M6
He can probably be safely eliminated as in 1949 returns from Bergen to his home in Sioux City, Iowa with his wife Borghild:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24RP-FKX
__________________________________________________
Elias Olsen Dvergsdal was born in Jølster 5 Sept 1897 His travel in 1925 was with possible relative Edward Dvergsdal. Elias was going to his brother Ole Dvergsdal in Portland Oregon. Edward was going to his brother Petter Dvergsdal in Wisconsin:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24RP-FKX
Here is Elias in 1910 Norway: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036730003454
He married a woman named Gudrun in 1929 and died 15 Feb 1943 in Portland with his wife and his brother Ole as only listed survivors.

Oscar Elias Olsen Josok b 8 Feb 1896 d. in British Columbia Canada 6 Sept 1986:

https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036752004522

Elias Olsen b 1897 fisherman of Aakra has been throughly examined in both this topic and this topic:http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6787&whichpage=4
He died in Massachusetts in 1958. He is eliminated.

Johan Elias Olsen Klepp was born 11 October 1897 in Volda. Living with siblings and parents in 1910:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01036754002040
His arrival in 1923 at New York:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JN8Y-LX3
As a sailor he could make port many times so this arrival coming from Halifax Nova Scotia to US in 1930 could also be he:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XG1Y-PWY
Or this one sailing 3rd class from Bergen in March 1930 whose last permanent address was Alaska:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK3B-CKHS
_______________________________________________
Elias Olsen Tokheim entered US Oct 1925 last residing at Fort William Ontario, coming in through Mineral Center, Minnesota on his way to his uncle Jacob Tokheim at Loma, North Dakota. He's aiming for a permanent residence. He landed in 1923 at St. John NB.

Hi Everyone - especially JaneC, jkmarler, jwiborg and Lyndal40. Ok so I have been chasing the wrong Elias. My mother died last November and in going through her papers my sister and I were unable to find ANY information on our father. There isn't a birth certificate or personal papers belonging to my father. He was indeed on the SS Carmania which sailed from Stavanger, Norway 18/4/24. The document is hard to read but my father did sign it and stated his age as 26. He arrived in Quebec, Canada in April 1924 (no specific day is mentioned just the month). My Elias married my mother on October 2nd, 1943. He was killed on March 9, 1952. I have copies of the death notice, the newspaper notices of the accident and the result of the trial (2 years prison for the driver). That is the only information my sister and I have. She has contacted the Canadian Government to see if he became a naturalised citizen but has yet to hear from them. So I will keep on looking. I do remember my mother saying he was from Bergen.
You don't have any personal papers concerning your father. Where did you obtain the Carmania document? |

Good find Jackie on the Magnhild name. Here is the family living in Stavanger in 1910.
1910
And living on Aakrehavn, Åkra in 1900. Good match with the data from the arrival document for Elias Olsen.
1900
And a good match location wise with the family of Elias Olsen also on Aakrehavn, Åkra in the 1900 Census.
1900
If you click on the arrows for Previous Domicile and Next Domicile they are next to one another in the census data. |

I am using this post since it lists his birth as 28 May 1900. Perhaps we can use that since we have pretty much ruled out most Elias Olsen we have found.
I wil use May 28 with father Ole and vary the birth years. I will look for first names that might morph into Elias. In 1900, only one.
Olaf Olsen Handeland

The Montreal Gazette newspaper is still available online in the Google News Archive. The site is a bit quirky these days, searches for newspaper mentions prior to 1970 will produce no results, so you have to browse, issue by issue, page by page. Perhaps you will snag a news article about the crash death of Elias Olson on 9 March 1952 and also find an obituary with more biographical information. Good Luck!

| Lynn, you assume Elias was driving and was a driver. In the account it says he was on the road when hit. He may have been walking home. Very, very few people named Aleas in Norway, exactly 3 are found by the Digitalarkivet search engine. More than likely, it's a typo which happen frequently in days of yore and also today. |
