LOOKING FOR: ARE THEY SCANDINAVIAN? HELP ANYONE?
Antan Ludvik Thoreson, Ship Master

Armunda Maria Thoreson, maiden surname Hansen.
A little information I have:

the forms of the Established Church of Scotland

28
Groom's Address

Bride
Asta Ludovica Thoreson, Lady's Help, Spinster
Bride's Age

Bride's Address

Bride's Father
Antan Ludvik Thoreson, Ship Master

This shows that Alexander was 28 in 1918, so was born in about 1890 and his
parents were Peter Wright and Annie Morrice. Asta was also 28 and her
parents were Antan Ludvik Thoreson and Armunda Maria Hansen. I briefly
checked the 1911 census for Asta but there was no sign of her in that. I
assume her family came from Scandinavia.
Alexander was born in 1891 in Birse:-
Reference 175, Year 1891, District Birse, Entry 2

Alexander Dalziel Keith Wright, Male
Date/Place
6th January 1891, 4:45am, Roadside Cottage, Birse

Peter Wright, Farm Labourer
Mother
Ann Wright, maiden surname Morrice
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated :)
