Karl, Marcilius, Nils & Fredrick Nilsen

[gj22029]

Four brothers died at sea sometime between 26 Dec 1885 and 4 September 1887. They lived in Hurum, Buskerud, Norway. Karl was born 1 Nov 1855 Svelvig, Hurum; Marcilius was born 18 Aug 1857 in Svelvig, Hurum; Nils was born 1 Aug 1864 in Hyggen, Røyken, Buskerud and Frederik was born 2 August 1869 in Rørvig, Hurum. They are the sons of Nils Andreas Fredrikson and Lovise Mathea Pettersdatter. Is it possible to find any information about their deaths? Thank you, Carol Culbertson

Hi

Not an answer, but here is another query about them:

I did get to exactly the same conclusion as in the Ancestry.com discussion: They are not listed under deceased people in the Hurum church record, something which is a bit strange since I found at least 3 or 4 other sailors from Hurum who had died at sea in that period, including the one mentioned in the other thread (ship disappeared more than a year ago with whole crew, assumed dead), one more whose body had not been found and one who had died in New Orleans.
