Sales, James

[Bev Mulcahy]

I'm trying to find some sort of trace of my great grandfather who emigrated to Australia. He was born in Lysekil and on his marriage/death certificate his name was James Sales.  I belive this was not his original name.  Has anyone any idea what might have been a Swedish name similar to Sales

[Anders Andersson]

While there are a few Swedish names beginning with sal- (Sahlén, Sahlin), the ending -es sounds completely foreign to me.
 
Rather than trying to guess the name, I suggest looking for dates and locations. Lysekil is a very precise lead. Is there a birthdate on the marriage certificate as well? What about his emigration date?
