From what I have read on this site, there seems to be little if any information that still exists concerning those emigrants not travelling on to US. but staying put in England.
I am trying to establish when my grandmother left Norway and whether she came alone or with her family.
The information I have is as follows:-
Abelone Rostad b. 1878 Stenkjaer, Nord-Trondelag. (my grandmother)
Johan Rostad. Father. b. 1839. Inderoen. Captain Merchant Service.
Oline Rostad.(nee Andreasdatter) Mother. b. 1849. Sparbo.
Marie Rostad. Sister. b. 1881. Stenkjaer.
The family is present in Stenkjaer for the 1900 census but in 1911 Abelone was married in the Registry Office, Westminster, London to Victor Henry McLeod and her father, Johan, is listed as deceased.
Is there any way I can trace the family from Norway to England: from the census to the marriage?
I'd be grateful for any thoughts. This is a terrific web site.
Regards,
Susan
