FORTHUN, Kåre Andreas (fødd i Austevoll 1932) og

 

NN, Sheila (Hall Wass?) (fødd i Hull, England 1934, død 1990)

 

skal vera vigde i Bergen sist på 1950-talet eller på 1960-talet.  Dei budde i Austevoll, men vart skilde i 1976.

* Kan me få sjekka det fulle namnet til Sheila samt farsnamn og fødestad?

 

Eg takkar so mykje på førehand for hjelpi!

Vigsel hos sorenskriveren i Sotra 26. november 1960. Hun var født i Hull, England, og var datter av George Wass. Det står et lite kors foran navnet hans, som rimeligvis indikerer at han var død da datteren giftet seg. Datoen i 1976 var 21. september. Som gift brukte hun navnet Sheila Hall Forthun.

Hjarteleg takk til Yngve for eit godt og nyttig svar!

 

Problemet er løyst!

Dear Lars E.  Øyane,

 

my name is Coranne van Kampen-Ducardus. I'm living in The Nederlands.

I want to ask you. Did you know Sheila Hall wass personally?

Perhaps she was my biological mother.

I hope to hear something of you.

Dear Coranne van Kampen-Ducardus!

 

I have today received your message from last Saturday!  Thank you very much for writing!

 

I am sorry having to tell you I never knew Sheila personally.  Her husband Kåre Andreas Forthun has his roots from Luster County, Norway where I am working on writing a series of biographies for all of the families that ever lived in this county.  What I know about Sheila is the following: She was the daughter of Georg WASS and born in Hull, England March 8, 1934.  She worked as a servant on ocean steamers when she met and married Kåre near Bergen, Norway on Nov. 26, 1960.  He was a cook at sea, and I presume they must have met while sailing together(?).  I have been told that they adopted a girl, but they divorced in 1976.  Sheila then moved to Haugesund, Norway where she remarried and died Aug. 9, 1990.

 

Kåre as well as two of his sisters were still alive when I last worked on this family a couple of years ago, and if you are interested, I can help you get in contact with them.

 

You are welcome to write me at: lars@oyane.fr.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Very sincerely yours,
