Did Lars Noren (tailor) join the Swedish Navy?

[Mr Brian Cross]

Hi Everyone

I posted on this forum on 13th Jan trying to find my GG Grandfather Laurentius Noren. I got a lot of help from Leif Lundkvist, see https://forum.rotter.se/index.php?topic=175349.0

Basically thanks to Leif I have now got his full history from birth on 8th June 1842 in Ovikem to him leaving Gothenburg in 1864 for an unknown destination.

I can find him marrying in Edinburgh, Scotland on 1st March 1870 and need to find how he got to Scotland. Now there is a rumour in the family that he absconded from the Swedish Navy and jumped ship in Leith, Scotland (Leith is the port for Edinburgh, Scotland)  He was a tailor by trade but can anyone find him in the Swedish navy or arriving in the UK?

When he left Gothenburg he was using the name Lars Noren.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance :-)
