SA Death CertificateEthel married Albert Marselius ANDREASSEN [image] son of Andreas Severin Vang KRISTIANSEN and Anne Margarete JENSEN on 24 Jun 1920 in Baptist Mance, Port Pirie, South Australia. Albert was born on 6 Jan 1889 in Hamarøy Norway. He died on 27 Dec 1950 in Broken Hill. He was buried in Broken Hill Cemetery, NSW.
Albert was aged 31 at the time of his marriage and 61 at his death.
He changed his name to Albert Christiansen Moe, apparently as it was thought the name would be easier for people to say or spell when he came to Australia and due to the patronymic naming in Norway at the time. He took the name Moe from the family farm in Tysnes in Hamerøy Nordland.
Occupation on daughter Mary's birth certificate was Miner.
Albert served in WW1 and at the end of war in 1919 had leave from England to go to Norway for 2 months.
