Limerick based Getlevog family currently researching their family history a Henry Getlevog, born 1850 ish. He married in Limerick in 1884. There are no baptismal records in Ireland for him they believe he was born in Norway and Getlevog and some other Norwegians were taken in by families in Windmill Street in the docks area of Limerick. The family are guessing the Hannah Parr ship? It would seem Gitlevag and Gitlevaag are possible variations to the name of this ancestor who was about 18 at the time of the Hannah Parr tie-up in Limerick. He married in 1884 and on his marriage certificate he states he was a sailor and his father, also Henry Getlevog, was a sea captain. Henry Getlevog died when he was 43. His death was registered in Runcorn, Cheshire and was only 9 years married at the time of his death. The family of Henry would appreciate any information on the Norwegian origins of this family. I notice the name Getlevog appears in U.K. census around the Liverpool area. Thank you in advance
