Fritz Emil Theodor Nilsson and Inga Mathilde Hansen

Legg inn av gj14839 » 09 okt 2011 09:31:05

Hello,

Firstly, I apologise for posting in English - I am Australian and my Norwegian skills are not very good. I hope your English is better than my Norwegian.

I am wondering if anybody can help me with my query please?

I am looking for the family of Fritz Emil Theodor Nilsson and his wife Inga Mathilde Hansen. They were married in Norway on 27 August 1917.
Fritz was born in Lund, Sweden on 19 July 1884 and Inga was born at Onsoy, Ostfold on 25 August 1888.

I have been able to find five children born to this couple:
Fritz Juno
Haakon Sverdrup
Ragnar Walther
Sverre Aleksander
Rakel Victoria

Haakon went to Canada during WW2, we believe as part of "Little Norway" the Royal Norwegian Air Force training base outside Toronto. Haakon is my husband's father. Unfortunately they had very little time together - my husband was taken to Australia to live just before he turned two and had no further contact with his father. We did find out that Haakon died in the USA in 1992. My husband has asked me to do some research for him to see if we can find out about his uncles, his aunt and perhaps any cousins that he might have and any further information about his father.

Your help would be most appreciated.

Kind regards,
Catriona Kelly
Queensland, Australia

Thank you Kjersti and Arna for your replies.

I notice that in the 1900 census Inga's last name was Lauritzen. Is that because her father was Lauritz Hansen? Then when Inga was married, her last name was Hansen - did the naming pattern change so that she then used her father's last name?

Fritz and Inga's daughter, Rakel, was baptised at Oslo on 9 August 1924. I can find no record of Inga after this.
Fritz worked on the passenger liners between Oslo and New York and I believe he was on both the "Moira" and the "Tancred" when they were both torpedoed by U Boats during WW2. He was rescued both times and lived out the rest of the war in New York. He was deported to England in 1949 and I don't know what became of him after that.

This is what I know about the children of Fritz and Inga:
Fritz Juno born 11 August 1915, baptised 17 October 1919. Worked as crew on ships to New York. Fritz was born two years before his parents were married - could his father have been caught overseas during WW1 and not be able to get back to Norway?

Haakon Sverdrup born Oslo, 27 June 1918, baptised 27 July 1918. Also worked on passenger liners between Oslo and New York prior to WW2.

Ragnar Walther born Oslo, 27 September 1919, baptised 17 October 1919. From digitalarkivet I found that Ragnar Walther died on 30 October 1996, it looks like in Oslo.

Sverre Aleksander born Oslo, 16 June 1921, baptised 19 June 1922.

Rakel Victoria born Oslo, 16 January 1924, baptised 9 August 1924.

Any help with this family is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Catriona

Good evening Catriona,

You can send an e-mail to Gravferdsetaten and ask who is responsible for Sverres grave. Most likely, it's a very close relative. The Gravferdsetaten will give a name and an address.

Kontaktinformasjon:

Telefon: 21 93 78 60

Faks: 21 93 78 61

E-post: gravferdskontor.ost@gfe.oslo.kommune.no

Good luck. Kjersti
