Thanks Girt but have all that- Norway was run by Sweden at one point and I

I'd say Charles was a little confused about where he was born??


In 1880, there is a Charles Wilson, aged 41, Lighterman, born in SWEDEN with
both parents born in Sweden.

Wife Kate, 36 - born in NY, both parents born in Germany
Daughter Anne, 13
Son Charles, 12
Daughter Kate, 8
Daughter Fannie, 7
Son Fred., 4
Daughter Martha, 2
Daughter Ida, 6/12 - born in January

they live on Prospect Street in Brooklyn 1880 New York, Kings County, ED 13
page 30

In 1870, they are again in Brooklyn (Second Ward page 227)

Charles Wilson, age 32, Lighterman, born in Prussia
Wife Catherine, age 26, born in NY
Annie (could be Irmine) age 4
Charles age 2
Mary 6/12
Louisa Reinhardt age 14 is living with them.

Hope this helps,
