Swedish captains

[Thomas Wikström]

I am looking for any kind of informations about my great grandfather´s father´s uncle, Johan (John) Andersson. My great grandfather, Anders Mikael Wikström, talks about him briefly in his book:  
He lived for the moment in Middlesborough England. He was captain on a quite big ship, which shipped oil over the Black Sea to different locations in Europe. At his visit, he had a hat that looked as from the tropics. He gave us jam and other nice food in beautiful decorated English cans. He was also member of the Metodist church in England.
 Johan´s brother was, boatsman and fisherman Anders Andersson b.1826 July 20. I have no information about their parents since the church burned down with all the information in Sotenäs. I do not know if it is he who is named in the captains register of Lloyd´s of London: 'Andersson, John b.Gothenburg 1842 c87239 London 1870'.
Gothenburg 1842 would be quite close to when he got his skipper exam in Gothenburg.
Greetings from Thomas W.

Hello Thomas,
I can not help you much, I am afraid.
As you already know a lot of important information was destroyed during the fire in 1898.
But some of this data has been reconstructed lately and registers of the population in Askum parish and Tossene parish are available on the net (by subscription).
You mention Anders Andersson b.1826 July 20, but how do you know if his place of birth is Sotenäs? This is not an old parish name.
I have read the reconstructed registers for Askum 1820-1830 and Tossene 1820-1830, but I cannot find your Anders Andersson there. To be sure these registers should be reviewed once more.
Kind regards
Leif

Hej Leif.
I am writing in English to see if I can get some information from the outside english speaking, since this is that forum. Anders Mikael only speaks about his grandfather as living in Gravarne, but not from where he was born. It is my assumption that he was born there in the region of Sotenäs. His grandmother, Karolina Johannesdtr(b.1831) was from Hamburgsund(?).  
För att gå över till Svenska; Finns det ett återbördat register? Var kan man söka sig till att få tillgång över detta register.  
Tusen tack Leif.

Thomas,
man finner rekonstruerade register i Arkiv Digital (kanske också i SVAR).
Jag har sökt på socknarna Askum och Tossene och finner där sockenlängderna SNL:1-21 för åren 1658-1880 resp. 1660-1880.
Mvh Leif

Genom stort och vänlig hjälp i RootsChat fann jag min ff ff fars bror Johan August Andersson f.1844 Askum. Flyttade till England 1869 och gifte sig med Margaret Winton i Yorkshire.  
Case closed. Saken avklarad. Men om någon är intresserad svarar jag gärna.
 
Mvh Thomas
