Schooner ELLIDA - 1842

Børge - My G-Grandmother made this voyage. There seems to be a bit of a mix-up in your passenger list. One of my distant rels, whose family also made this voyage, has a web site about Telemark. He recently sent me some info about the Einung group that embarked in this ship. "---. All persons entering or leaving a parish (Dall Parish for example) signed in or out. ---. In 1842, the 10 members of the EINUNG family "checked out" with a destination of America. The 10 in the Einung family were: Jacob Olsen Einung, age 43 Anne, age 44 Susan, age 21 (twin) Anne, age 21 (twin) Auslaug, age 17 Ole, age 14 Jon, age 11 Gunhild, age 9 (my G-grandmother) Gro, age 6 Østen, age 21/2 Your passenger list does not show Anne, age 44, and shows the twin, Anne, as age age 1. We know the following: Wife Anne, age 44 died during the voyage as did the Twin, Anne. The cause of death was cholera. Susanne survived the voyage. I note that some of the children's ages vary by about a year. This is probably because of the time lapse from "checking out" until the compilation of the passenger list. Note that Østen had aged by 6 months. I may soon have more name info on wife, Anne. Does this help, or just cause pain? I think the end game is to get it right. Jim Erik Bye is a friend of mine.
