Marie Skomo gift Victoria BC Canada Paul John "Brostea

Legg inn av Margaret Miller » 23 jul 2014 08:22:13

From Ancestry.com I see a marriage in 1900 in Victoria, British Columbia Canada for Paul John Brostea and Marie Skomo. I put the name Marie Skomo in the search place and came up with that marriage. She lived in Spokane Falls WA in 1890 (emig. 1888). She can be Marie Regine born 28 May, 1859 in Brønnøy, Nordland Norway, dtr. of Erik Johannessen og Jakobia Jensdtr. Skomo ytre Brønnøy.

Why can't I find Paul John Brostea and Marie after the marriage? Perhaps last name is not spelled right?

Can anyone figure out this one?

She has the same address as all the Marie Skomos in Seattle from 1892-1900! Must be here with wrong age 1900 census. She is always "dressmaker". Date of 1900 census is 22 June. Marriage is Oct. 1900, so that fits. Also, we don't see her in Seattle after 1900. I am thinking now that this must be the write lady. Sure wonder why we don't see her after 1900! I appreciate your time.

Hei Margaret!
Do you know after their marriage, if they lived in Canada or the USA?
OR...is that something you are trying to find out??
Do you know Paul's date of birth...born where?

I don't know anything about Paul. Just had the marriage! Maybe something is wrong with surname spelling Brostea? Very odd, but I just find nothing. I'd like to verify age too for Marie to see if is can he the right Marie for us. Uff da!

Hei
If you look at the actual marriage document it says Paul's residence is Seattle, (King county)
Washington.
So he should be in the 1900 census, done in June.
But I could not find him with any name close to "Brostea"
Both witnesses for the marriage are from Seattle.
Paul is age 41 in the marriage document...Maria 33.

I get the feeling they went to Canada just for the marriage....like they were to return to the USA?

mvh Patty

I wonder where you are seeing the marriage record with her parents etc.?
Marie's parents are Erik Johannessen Skomo and mother Jakobia Jensdtr. She was born 1859.

Age and father do not fit, but mother does!

Let me know where to look for the marriage.

Sure wonder where they go and why we can't see them!

Thanks for the help!

I see in city directories for Seattle: Paul J. Brosted and Marie R. !
They are at 2031 78th North.
I see Paul J. Brosted died 11 Aug. 1914 Seattle 54 years, son of Tora B. and Elizabeth Brosted.

I see at that address in 1910:
William Brosted 52 born Norway
Marie Brosted 41 born Norway, emig. 1892 (she emig. 1888)
married 9 years, no children

Very strange.

Now I see:

1930 State Hospital in Pierce Co.:
Marie R. Brosted 65 widow born Norway

In city directory I see in 1921 Regina M. Brosted in Seattle. That is the correct middle name!

Death would help!

Must be her because of mother's name and we don't see Marie Skomo after 1900.
I see Paul Johan Thoresen Brøste born Jan. 24 1856 in Trondheim (Vaar Frue kirke). Parents fit. He emig. with them in 1871. May be married before in Chicago.

OK, I see marriage record on the Family Search Site.

Paul had brother William who was younger. Perhaps he was with them in 1910 and the names got mixed up. (William Brosted in 1910).

Hei Margaret!
I wonder why Marie's age is so far off( age 41) in 1910 census (=born 1869),
marriage record, age 33 (=born 1867)....
Hope I did my math correct...

You mention your Marie was born May 1859...

I guess the ages could all be errors...????
Then the 1930 census...makes this Marie age 65...born then 1865...
Also 1900 census says she is 35...so born about 1865.

What do you think?
Did she just want to "say" she was younger than she really was???

I found Paul in 1880, he emig. 1871 with family. Father then called Thomas Broste? From memory. Then I saw a marriage in 1880's in Chicago, I think.
Wasn't Marie a dressmaker before marriage?
It is her mother's name that is such a good fit. She was in some home as a patient in Pierce Co. in 1930. I could not find a death either.

Seems the name was Brøste in Norway, then Broste and Brosted. The marriage record is unclear if that d is on the end, but the name seems to have changed a bit over time.

Funny that family is not on Ancestry trees as Thore and Eliz. had quite a few children.

I can order Paul's obit, but doubt it will tell much about Marie.
