Notes for Lauritz (Loue) Anton Larsen Lindroth
Loue’s usual name (and name used on legal documents) transformed a bit over his life.
There are two versions of his name in Norwegian documents - Lauritz Anton Larsen Lindroth, and Lauritz Anton Lauritsen Lindroth, though there are other versions that omit the third portion (Larsen/Lauritsen) of the name. Of these two, the Lauritsen version is used only once, while the Larsen version appears several times in documents from parish priests and again in the emigration record. Given Norwegian naming conventions, Larsen Lindroth would be considered the surnames.
He appears to have used Larsen as a last name once he immigrated to Canada. One document from the Norwegian Consulate in Montreal, produced in 1918, used “Lauritz Anton Larsen Lindroth,” but everything else used Larsen as a last name. Again given Norwegian naming conventions, this was not unusal amongst immigrants to North America. His usual given name appears to have transformed during this time as well, with nearly all records using some form of “Loue” (with Louis being the usual variation). Family lore records this as being largely for ease of pronunciation among others in British Columbia.
Loue’s trip to Canada appears to have been in two parts. The Norwegian emigrant records indicate he left on the “Oslo,” which was on the Kristiania-Hull run; Canadian passenger records indicate he arrived on the “Lake Manitoba,” from Liverpool to Montreal. The UK outgoing passenger records verify the departure from Liverpool, but the UK records don’t include information on incoming passengers from European ports, so there’s no verification of that portion of his trip.
