Can anyone help please. Looking for a friend - her great grandad was a Charles Stephen Friedman (or Freedman and the family then became Freeman - friend thought Freeman was his name). She had family story he was from Sweden, possibly a Jew from Russia orignally.
Ive had a look and yes, found a Charles Friedman in 1861 on an english boat as crew off Flamborough Head born about 1841 in Gothenburg, Sweden. He marries a Susanna Speakman in Leeds in 1872 as Charles Freedman (I cant find him in 1871 - may be on a boat again). He marries in the parish church, so apparently not a practicing Jew.
He is naturalised by 1891 (in the 1881 he is still shown born Sweden, no mention of naturalisation til the 1891).
I would love to find more about him for the friend. On ancestry some one has him in their tree and has added a father "Erich" but no other detail. Ive tried looking on NA for naturalisation record but no luck.
Any ideas please?
