MORTENSON, Anders - emigrated to Tasmania before 1915

[Rebecca Lodge]

I need some help to try and find a birth certificate for my great-grandfather, Anders Mortenson, born approx 1876. He was resident in Tasmania by 1915 (my grandmother was born in Tas that year). He may have been a seaman, and I think his family came from Gothenburg. Any info about him or others who emigrated to Tasmania gratefully received.

Three persons are listed as emigrating to Tasmania in the Emibas CD of emigrants:
Johan Peter Kristiansson, b 25 July 1860  emigrated 6/11 1885 from Kristianopel, Blekinge county
Axel Tengdahl 26 Aug 1853, emigrated 3 Jan 1882 from Stockholm to Mount Bischoff (!).
Frans Forsberg b 10 July 1873 in Åsele, emigrated 31 oct 1921 from Hede, Härjedalen.
 
Of course many listed as only Australia could have gone to Tasmania. I have not found an Anders Mårtensson yet, it is a relatively common name.

Thanks - I realise it must be pretty impossible without place or even date of birth. Sdly both my grandparents are dead and my father has only a hazy recollection of his grandfather. Still, fingers crossed!!
