Australian immigrant from Norway
stoney	My GGGrandfather "Charles Brown" arrived in Australia 1854 (and lived and died in NSW) on "Jacob Robinson" according to naturalization certificate issued 1869. I have all his family line to me, marriage certs, death certs. I think perhaps his name was not Charles Brown or had a Norwegian spelling. Have no idea where in Norway he came or through any other country on the way. Birth date 1821. Can anyone help with this.
askeroi	A norwegian with norwegian parents and grandparents would certainly not be named Charles Brown. It may be a translation from Carl/Karl Brun/Bruun. But born too late for 1801 cencus and departing too early for the 1865 cencus it will probably be impossible to find him on the information you have given - at least untill all national church books are on-line. But there are several families called Brun/Bruun in Norway (and has been longer back than his birth) so there is a slight chance someone researching such a family has a missing Carl/Karl fitting your description. You should try a debate on Digitalarkivet http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar&spraak=e Other ways to find him with todays internet sources could be through siblings (or parents) staying behind in Norway. You don't have any such information? I'm sorry, but these hints are the closest I could get to be of any help. GOOD LUCK!!
