I'm looking for a passenger named Peder Jacobsen, born in 1846 near Trondheim, Norway. He left Norway in 1869 and arrived in Quebec. I have not been able to locate him in the emigrant protocols in Norway. He should be 23 or 23 years at the time he disembarked in Quebec.
In the passenger lists I have located a 'P. Jacobsen' (24 years) who arrived in Quebec with the Allan Line ship Nova Scotian 30 April 1869. However, his name is lined out with a note that seems to be 'Not at clearance'. This must mean that he never was aboard this ship? Link to passenger list (no. 455).
Another candidate is 'Peter Jacobsen', 20 years old, who left from Liverpool on board the North American, also an Allan Line ship, and arrived in Quebec 24 May 1869. Link
It is probably a long shot to think that these two persons are identical. I know that Peder arrived in Quebec in 1869, and if he did not get on board the Nova Scotian he must have been on another ship.
Can anybody help me in the right direction?
