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.

Hi

Fuiustac - might it be Grimstad?

There is a Samuel with father Johan Andreas Olsen born 3. jan 1856 in Grimstad.

Hi

In the 1875 census Samuel is a sailor and not with his family.
He is said to be in Ramsfok ? England

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.

Johan Andreas Olsen was the son of Ole Henricsen, Morholt (b. 1786) and Ingebor Kirstine Jørgensdatter, Grømstad (b. 1784).
They were married July 30 1814, last record on right page.

Margrethe Mathiasdatter was the daughter of Matias Andersen, Reppesvig (b. 1796) and Ingeborg Knudsdatter, Haave (1806) . She was born Dec 4 1833, #2.
The parents were married Oct 10 1826, #3.

Einar, your last two records for the marriages of the parents did not work for me.

You meant for the 1814 Record

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb20070702650278

And for the 1826 Record

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb20070606320124

Matias Andersen Repsvig and his family in the 1801 Census

https://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01058327001696

Birth record for Margrethe Mathiasdatter worked fine

Also I wonder if Ole Hendrichsen Morholdt was not born in 1786 and not 1761. Here is the 1801 Census

https://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01058327000987

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!
