Anne Marie MORTENSEN was buried at Norsewood Cemetery. The records name her as Anne Mary. She was known to our family as Anna Maria.
Headstone inscription recorded as: Johan Fredrick MORTENSEN died 1886 aged 61, at rest, his beloved wife Anne Mary MORTENSEN died 1893 aged 72, at rest. (I plan to check this by going to the cemetery.)

Hi Natalie, Are you sure that Oline was Fredrick's 1st wife? On the Digitalarkivet there is a Fredrik Mortensen, wife Anne Marie and 5 children sailing on the Hovding Click Here
In the 1865 census they are living in Christiana (Oslo) with 6 children Click Here so Marthe Mathilde either stayed behind, died or possibly married and is sailing under a different name. Carl Fredrik/Fritjof could be your Fritjof. If you have any birth years, maybe you can confirm if this is your family. Also you should see if you can find a death record for Anne Marie or marriage for Fredrik and Oline
One of the children's birth record is on the LDS Click Here which lists Anne Marie's last name as Halvorsdatter

Marthe Mathilde came to New Zealand via Australia. She was widowed (in Australia?), then married a SOWRY.
There is a Martha Matilda SOWRY (38yrs) buried in the Old Gorge Cemetery near Woodville (Woodville is south of Norsewood).
The date of death is not recorded, but the funeral date was 28/10/1890 (D/M/Y). Particulars furnished 27/10/1890 by Joseph SOWRY. |

I cannot find any in the records from the 1872 or 1873 sailings of the Høvding from Kristiania to Napier. Cannot comment on other immigrants. |

Yes my Grandfather got the information you sent, thanx.
how far can you trace the family back in Norway? This seems to be the re-ecurring promblem i have been facing, i can't go any further back than Fritjofs parents. I have all the records of them and thier children, but thats it. I t seems to be a bit complicated with their last names as i have many alternatives for Karl Fritjofs mothers last name; Halversen, Halversdatter, Alversen etc
However the good new is, you must be my about my half 3rd cousin or something, you are equivelent to my Father in the generations.
Nice to finally have found someone related to us, my grandfather was very happy.
Talk again soon,
Nat

Hi,
I am the great granddaughter of Augusta Frederika Mortensen and Frederick William Redward. Augusta's parents were Johan Fredrik & Anne Marie Mortensen. Augusta was the sister of Carl Fritjof Mortensen. The one that took of to Australia and left his wife Julia and kids.
My grandfather was their youngest child Francis Huia Redward. I think he died in 1960 at the age of 56 and was buried in Dannevirke.
I live in Perth, Western Australia, am 55 years old and didn't know any of you existed until tonight. I was told that my grandfather was illegitimate and that where his history stopped, and it was never spoken of again. Pleased to know that you are all out there and would like to hear from any other family. My husband and I hope to visit Norway at the beginning of next year and would like to find any lost family.

Hi, Loloma.
It was good to get your email.
I have been contacted by a distant Norwegian relative - a descendant of Andrea Lovise HAGEN (daughter of Anne Marie MORTENSEN nee HALVORSDATTER) - who lives in Oslo.

| Are any of these Mortensens from the same branch as Tom or Vi Mortensen (Eketahuna/Masterton/Mauriceville area possibly?). My great Grandmother (Grace May Goodgame) was married to a Mortensen who died tragically in a fire apparently. Desperate to find a link somewhere - all help and advice gratefully received |

ok thankyou, very much. do you know of any people on this site who are realated to the norsewood pioneers, do i have to look them up on the members index?
The best thing is just to be patient and let them find you. There is no passenger list as I konw of for the Høvding, but the passengers can be found in the lists of emigrants made up by the Norwegian police. You will find Fredrik Mortensen and family leaving from Kristiania (now Oslo) registered there (just follow the link). Here is the Fredriksen family
I have to ask that all postings regarding the Mortensens on the Høvding in 1872 are kept to this tread from now on, this to make it possible to keep the structure on the board here. I will delete any other posts regarding the same topic posted elsewhere. Please read the Posting Guidelines
