    Default Myhre - Stavanger to England 19th century

    My great grandfather Helge August Myhre travelled from Stavanger in the nid 1800's. We have no exact record of departure from Stavanger or arrival in England apart from; a document dated Dec 1851 in Stavanger that was required by the Norwegian authorities for (overseas) travel.
    : and shipping notice of arrival at Hull on the SS Courier 1857 with the name Myhre (no christian names) occupation 'machinist'. His occupation is later shown as a jeweller/watchmaker.

    We have no other details on Helge until he married Emily Brunette at St Mary's church Islington in 1859. They had a daughter in 1860 who appears in a baptisim record at All Souls ST, Marylebone.

    The brickwall is no arrival details confirmed in England, and nothing else until he is married. Presumably he didn't speak english on arrival although he could have and no record of apprenticeship or training in any vocation.

    Another brick wall is his brother Christian Henrik Myhre born in Drammen Norway 1829 who also travelled to England but no details of ship or dates. Perhaps he is the Myhre - 'machinist'? although in Norway he was shown as a blacksmiths assistant. We understand he was unmarried when he died in Tyneside. date unknown and so far does not appear in any census.

    Help !!

    This could be Christian mistranscribed, the writng is very bad and difficult to read. I cannot make out his occupation, it could end in language.

    1861, Elswick St Paul, Northumberland. RG 9; Piece: 3816; Folio: 48; Page: 25;

    As I'm new to this site - I understand I should now revert to the Forum and use that instead of Brickwalls?

    You cannot trust trees on Ancestry people take the infomation from Ancestry Family Tree which has the wrong infomation in it. I just looked at one that has him Married to a different wife after he died and Lots of children.

    If you check FreeBMD you can see the 2 children both born in London.
    Births Jun 1860 Emily Maria MYHRE, Marylebone, 1a 350
    Births Jun 1863 Hams (Hans) August MYHRE, E London, 1c 14

    Lots of Births in Cardiff, Wales after them from 1879 onwards.

    Can not find anything about his brother Kristian Henrik Myhre.

    On Helgi and Emily marriage cert. it has his father as Ole Myhre.
