Hans Olaus Rekvoldsen

Rekvoldsen: am seeking information on Hans Olaus Rekvoldsen and his father Peter, which relates to a forum trail I found yesterday from Cath Davies and Hazel Jones (and whoever else is out there!) linking in to the Rekvoldsen/ Drennan family trees. My great grandmother was Walburg Drennan (nee Rekvoldsen), born 1.1.1873, in Liverpool and died 9.1.1957, probably a common ancestor to you Cath, I think we must be distant cousins if you’re still following this trail. Walburg’s father was Hans Olaus Rekvoldsen (estimated born 1842 or 1843) who married Margaret McKinley (reputedly from Belfast). I’ve just got their marriage cert for 15 Jan 1868 which names his father as Peter Rekvoldsen, a mariner. I’m hoping that those with the Norwegian links can give me some info on this father and son, perhaps where they were born, their roots, when they left Norway, etc. I know Hans died of consumption here in Liverpool in 1894. Looking at the previous trail, Hans’s father does not seem to be Peter but perhaps called Reichvald Helgesen so how does his son end up as Hans Olaus Rekvoldsen? Hope you can help -Paula
