Hi Sue
Thanks for the info. You're right they may have kept together for a while. So this could be very helpful.
How do you know that your ancestors were aboard the Amelia? Have you found a passenger list for that actual date? I see that Amelia departed from Porsgrunn on April 18, 1867 and arrived in Quebec May 29, 1867.
We've looked for a passenger list for that exact departure, but have so far been unable to find one.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I am seeking any info. on a Capt. Rolaf Olesen.He was married to Maren Torkelson around 1867 in Norway, place unknown.Maren was the widow of Johannes Hisholt who died in an accident around 1865.Maren had 5 children from her previous marriage: Carrie b.1856,Ole b.1858,Josephine b.?,John b.1862,and Theodore b.1864.
This was the original post. Johannes, Maren and children with matching names can be found in the 1865 census (1--6). This was posted previously, but the link had become obsolete. But there is a match in the 1870 census as well, (8--12) containing Maren and the same four children. No husband/father is listed, although Maren's marital status is given as married. There is a remark that "Manden er rømt og agter ikke at komme tilbage". (Her husband has run away and does not intend to return.) |

| And here is a new link to replace another one that had gone obsolete; Maren and her four children (but no husband) on a 1872 passenger list. (Towards the end). The same list at this site: 20a--20e |
