Edvardt Andreas Österberg

[Donald Swanson]

A Norwegian cousin told me that my great-grandfather was Peder Österberg but I found his marriage information on the LDS site as being Edvardt Andreas Österberg. I was told he was a Swedish fisherman. He moved to Trondheim, Norway. He married Pauline Hansine Hagen on 19 Nov 1876 in Trondheim, Norway. They had children, Edvarda, Marie, Peder and my grandmother, Anna Elizabeth. I was told he died in a shipwreck while traveling abroad when Anna was about two years old or in 1888 or 1889. I would like to know all vital information including location in Sweden, parentage, and date of birth. Any news of the shipwreck would be appreciated also!  Any other relatives in Sweden?

It appears from review of the Norwegian Census Record Archives that Edvardt Andreas Österberg was born in Norway in 1846/1847 to Erik Österberg and Marie Österberg (Josephsdatter).  Erik was the Swedish fisherman born in Sundsvall, Sweden in 1814.  Marie was born in 1806.  Edvardt was a bricklayer and all lived at Askgrobakken 6 of Trondheim in the 1865 and 1875 Census.  Any information for this family or ancestors of the same is greatly appreciated!
