Hi Erik
Thanks you very much for your time & assistance. I guess it would have been a real fluke if something had turned up immediately.
Are there gaps in the Swedish BDM records or is it that they are not yet fully indexed?
Australia was a series of British colonies up until 1901, the immigration records offer very little information for family history purposes. I have not been able to find any record of Peter Brown as an assisted or unassisted migrant. There are even less details for ship's crew - but I can find only one possibility. In 1854 on the Lady Kennaway there is a Brown from Sweden listed as a 25 year old able-bodied seaman.. But the Christian name isn't clear and there is no supporting family details. I have PB's will - nothing useful there either. Unable to find any record of him requesting or receiving citizenship.
Any suggestions ? What about sailors working out of Sweden? is this readily available or reliable?
