Searching for George Johnson born circa 1846 Kragero.

[Angela Cutting]

Hello everyone,  

I am searching for my GGrandfather - George Johnson (Anglicised).  Born in Kragero in circa 1846.  Father was Michael or Mikkel.  Mother was Ane Ariansen.   I have uploaded Georges Marriage certificate.   George came to Australia roughly 1873.  Not on any ship lists.  Possibly a sailor who jumped ship??  Would be grateful for anyone's help.  

 

Hallo alle sammen. Jeg leter etter min bestefar - George Johnson (anglisert). Født i Kragero cirka 1846. Faren var Michael eller Mikkel. Moren var Ane Ariansen. Skjermbilde av vigsel- og dødsattester. George kom til Australia omtrent 1873. Ikke på noen skipslister. Muligens en sjømann som hoppet av skipet?? Ville vært takknemlig for hjelp fra noen.

This record names him George Martin Johnsen, which is an important clue. The last name of his mother, Ariansen, is also relatively unique.
