I have only seen Olden as male name once in Norway before, an Ole Olden Pollestad b. ca 1800.
Since "our" Ole`s father was Ola/Ole Olsen, "Olden" as firstborn son would have been named Ole after his fathers father Ole.
In N.Z. he could change his name to what he wanted.
You do not know if he came to Norsewood first?
Ship Høvding made 2 journeys from Oslo with Norwegian emigrants to Norsewood in 1872 and -73 paid for by the N.Z. authorities bacause they wanted Scandinavians.

Good point about the name. Born 1861 - 1870, he would travel with family if he journeyed in 1872 - 1875.
An Ole Olsen, born in Odalen, traveled in 1872 to Norsewood with son Ole born about 1861, found on the passenger list for the ship Hovding. The mother Eli H, not Frederikka; possibly could be "our" Olden if Eli is a step-mother or if his record(s) in NZ give the name of step-mother. A long shot.
The above Ole is out - he died in Norsewood
Bottom line: the Ole Olsen found in Orkdal is a really excellent candidate to be Olden, but his identity is not confirmed. Perhaps if the forum saw more records of Olden in NZ a clue would jump out or could be followed up?
padow - you asked about the sister Oline, and another line of inquiry could be to find her descendants and see if there's a family story of her brother going to New Zealand. If this is the right family and if she also emigrated to NZ, she might appear as "Lina" or "Lena." |

Hello Jane C
The record gets a bit muddled on the New Zealand side. His death records say he lived in NZ for 48 yrs. This points to an arrival circa 1888. He appears to have married a woman of Maori origin( also recorded on the death cert) when he was 51 yrs old but there seem to be no official government records of this union . There is some cultural sensitivity around Maori records and that is a path which someone from that ethnic group needs to follow.!
An additional query I have is about census data after 1875. If we could find out if Olden/Ole's father are still in the same district I think that would verify that "our" Olden/Ole came to New Zealand on his own. I have already tried the Norsewood New Zealand records but I don't think our man chose to settle there.
Thanks for all the continuing interest and speculation around our mystery man.
Regards Padow. |

Here is an interesting Olden Olson enlisting in US Navy in 1885, age 23 born "Tholonen Norway":
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-14738-6660-63?cc=1825347
Haven't found "Tholonen" but he also has interesting tatts: heart and the word "loyra" or "logra". Haven't found Loyra but if the o is actually ø and you drop the y (as often happens) you are left with Løra, a hytte in Snillfjord about 20 km on the 714 highway from Orkdalsfjørden..... |

wouldn't it be reasoable that the name referred to a girl rather than an adress?

The only Ole Olsen born in Norway between 1857-65 with parents Ole Olsen and Fredrikke/Frederikke/Fredrikka Larsdatter I have found is the one from Orkdal municipality b. 1861.
And "Olden" Olsen came to New Zeland ca 1888.?

Wow, Kåre, that is a lot of looking you've done. Wonderful.
padow, would you please post the immigration (crewman) record you found 1888 and also transcriptions of other records. A jpg (image) of the birth place as written might help. Would be good for the forum to see the records you have more fully. Thanks. |

I have looked into some Emigrants who dep. Oslo for New Zealand in the 1870s -80s and -90s.
The majority changed ship in Hull England, but also Copenhagen Denmark or Hamburg Germany were used.

Hello all Thanks again. Am unsure hoe to insert the image you asked for. There doesn't seem to be a place here to insert a jpeg.

Thanks for that Kåre
Padow, I don't know how to insert a jpg either but here's a work around, at free website Tiny Pics
http://tinypic.com/
Create a free account and upload a photo.
After successful upload, you'll see options for URLs etc. Choose the URL appropriate for forums and copy and paste here.
It's rather surprising, but the records from the adopted country are just as important if not more so than the search in an immigrant's homeland. You've presented the key points - very helpful - but you never know what detail might be meaningful to someone else (I'm especially thinking of the sharp-eyed Norwegian researchers here and others who have long experience in Norwegian research). No guarantees - but definitely worth a shot.

Great.
Under column "Where born" I read;
(1) orkkedalen Norway.
The older spelling for Orkdal was Ørkedalen.
Another spelling is Orkedalen.
