Edvard Olsen
Edvard was born on March 14th, 1878 in Horten, Vestfold and his baptism took place there on April 14th, 1878.1 Edvard's father was Halvor Christian Olsen and his mother was Emilie Hansdatter. His paternal grandparents were Ole Jensen and Anne Helene; his maternal grandparents were Hans Olsen Augedal and Ellen Olea Jørgensdatter. He was an only child. He died at the age of 41 on March 16th, 1919 in Port Natal (Durban), Sør-Afrika.2 Death Notes
Port Natal var tidligere navnet på Durban.
General Notes
(Research):Edvard hadde maskinutdannelse og drev egen virksomhet i Durban, med service på utstyr til hvalfangstvirksomheten. Han skal ha sendt biletter hjem til familien, for at de skulle reise til ham i Durban. Emma var ikke interessert i dette, og solgte bilettene. Ryktet sier at han var svært glad i flaska, og at Emma også av den årsak ikke ønsket å komme nedover. I praksis var de nok å betrakte som skilt. Det ble sagt at Edvard døde av nyreslag (drakk seg i hjel?), og at han ikke opplevde sin 40 års dag.
Avsnittet ovenfor er basert på telefonsamtale med Torgrim Klemetsen 30/10-00
Egne betraktninger:
Det virker litt merkelig at forholdet mellom Edvard og Emma var slik som nevnt ovenfor. Utfra det Emma skriver på kortet av henne og barna, virker det som om forholdet dem imellom var godt på det tidspunktet. Om jeg anslår Gunnars alder til 5 år, er vel bildet på kortet tatt omkring 1913. I følge Torunn hadde Edvard et forhold til en annen kvinne i Durban, hun leverte Evards eiendeler (bl.a. kortet) til Emma etter hans død (var hun Norsk?).
