If Thomas Johnson was a sailor at the advanced age of 50-60, most likely he was a sailor before as a much younger man. Perhaps he'll turn up in the monstring lists indexes for Oslo..
Well, I've gone through the Oslo indexes of sailors from 1866-1890 and found no person directly named Thomas Johnson. There are bundles of those named Thorvald and other "T" first names with Jonsen, Jensen, Johansen. In the later index which goes up to 1930 there was a Thomas Sigurd Johansen but dated to the mid 19teens.
Also checking the church registers indexed at the Digitalarkivet for any male with the 5 Sept 1853 birthdate found no Thomas in the whole Østlandet. |
