Biography

Albert was born about 1860. He arrived in NZ around 1885 and got married in 1887. ^[1] He was a builder.^[2] He passed away in 1927 and was buried in Bromley Cemetery.^{[3] [4]}

Research Notes

• He may also have a son: Andrew James Anderson. BDM birth is 1896/17444 and lists "Sarah Ann" and "Bernard" as the parents. On ancestry, there is a record for Andrew's NZ Expeditionary Force form that lists his father as having been born in Norway. I'm not 100% confident with Albert's listed country of birth so it could be wrong.
• Based on family stories, Albert was born at sea near Sweden due to his father being a sea captain, but may actually be Norwegian.
• He may have spelt his name Andersen rather than Anderson.
