24O20	Charles Otto Lund Collett was born at Christiana on 30^th October 1878 and, on 23^rd November 1911, he married Ida Alice Clara Loeck who was born in Hamburg on 21^st October 1887, a daughter of Otto Loeck and Eleanor Ida May of No 22 Agnesstrasse. Charles, who was also known as Chasso, was the son of Marie Collett and Anders Jacob Lund (Ref. 24N21) and was adopted by Marie’s brother Eugene Beauharnais Ferdinand Collett (Ref. 24N19) and his wife Frida Walhberg. The eldest sister of Ida Alice Clara Loeck, Nora Loeck, married Harry Morgan Stoe Man and they were the parents of David Man in America, who has a website for his family history which also includes some brief details of this Collett family.
	Now long after they were married Chasso and Ida left Norway and headed west to America. Once there they settled in the town of Sewickley, north-west of Pittsburgh, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania where Chasso worked for the Crucible Steel Company of America. It was at the Western District Court of Pennsylvania on the 9^th December 1913 that Charles Otto Lund Collett from Norway was granted American citizenship. By that time, the first of the couple’s three sons had been born at Sewickley, where the other two were born during the following four years. Within two years of the birth of their last known child, the family travelled to Japan during 1919 to live there for around two of years. However, the names and details for all five members of the family were included on the passenger list for the vessel, the SS Hoosier State, which sailed out of Yokohama on 1^st February 1922. Two weeks later the family disembarked at San Francisco on 15^th February 1922.
	The details on the passenger list confirmed that Charles O Collett from Norway was 43, his wife Ida L Collett from Hamburg was 34, Charles H Collett was nine, Niels W Collett was seven, and Otto E Collett was four years of age. The place of birth for all three sons was Sewickley, while the dates of birth of every member of the family were also confirmed. It is interesting that the passenger list also stated that their address in the United States was simply Sewickley PA, but without a full address given.
	While they still had a young family, Charles and Ida left America and finally settled in England and are known to have lived for some years at East Hindhead in Surrey. It was also at Ewell in Surrey that the death of Charles Otto Collett of Deepdene, on Epsom Road, took place on 15^th October 1949. On that day, he had been mowing the lawn at home, while Ida was visiting relatives in Germany, when he had a heart attack, from which he died shortly after. His Will was proved in London on 15^th April the following year, when his widow Ida Loeck Collett was named as the executor of his estate of £767 4 Shillings.

24O35	Elisabeth Collett was born at Drammen on 18^th January 1881 and, just like her sister Anna (above), she never married and died on 30^th December 1967 and was buried that same day at Vestre Gravlund in Oslo. Many years earlier, at the time of the census in 1910, Elizabeth Collett was living at Nils Juelsgate 29 in Christiania with just her sister Louise Collett (below) for company.
24O36	James Collett was born at Drammen on 11^th March 1886. In the census of 1910, he was recorded as bachelor James Janus Collett, when he was residing at Holbergs plads 1 in Christiania (Oslo).

24O37	Louise Wilhelmine Collett was born at Drammen on 16^th May 1891. At the age of nineteen Louise Collett was recorded in the census of 1910 as living with her older sister Elizabeth Collett (above) at Nils Juelsgate 29 in Christiania. It was around eight years after that when she married Thomas Hoie who was born on 28^th April 1893, and with whom she had three children. Hans Christian Hoie born on 13^th July 1919, Anna Elisabeth Hoie born on 7^th November 1921, and Kirsten Helene Hoie born on 5^th March 1932.

24P1	Ingrid Collett was born at Eidsvoll on 26^th July 1897, the first of the six children of Isak Kobro Collett Jenny Augusta Arntzen. Ingrid was living with her family at Fredheim in Eidsvoll on the day of the census in 1910. Her father died there during the following year and, it would appear that she stayed on living with her mother until she passed away in 1951. Ingrid Collett never married and died on 1^st October 1975.
24P2	Thomas Collett was born at Eidsvoll on 23^rd December 1898, the twin brother of Louise Collett who died on 29^th January 1900 aged thirteen months. He was in his late twenties when Thomas married Agnes Tellefsen, who was born on 26^th November 1899 and with whom he had a son. At the time of the earlier Norway census of 1910, twelve-year-old Thomas Collett was living with his parents at Fredheim in Eidsvoll. Agnes Collett nee Tellefsen died on 25^th September 1971, while her husband passed away almost exactly seven years later, when Thomas Collett died on 26^th September 1978.
	24Q1	Isak Collett			Born in 1930
24P5	Rolf Collett was born at Eidsvoll on 8^th May 1905 and was living with his family at Fredheim in Eidsvold in 1910. He was probably around twenty-five years of age when Rolf married Elise Dorothea Nagelstad, Elise having been born on 22^nd October 1907. Their marriage resulted in the birth of three children, the youngest of which was thirty-eight when Elise Dorothea Collett nee Nagelstad died on 18^th March 1984.

Fredrik died on 14^th May 1982, while his wife Ellen Sofie Collett nee Hansen died in April 1992 and was buried at Nordre Gravlund in Skien on 29^th April 1992.
24P9	Kaare Collett was born at Narvik on 19^th April 1905, the eldest surviving member of the family of lawyer Tom John Collett and his first wife Thrine Essendrop Kobro. In 1910 Kaare and his family were living at King Haakons Gate in Narvik on the census day that year. He later married Randi Margrethe Aanensen who was born on 18^th August 1915. They had no children and Kaare Collett died on 3^rd May 1982.
24P10	Ragnhild Collett, of Namsos, was born at Narvik on 1^st March 1908 and was living with her family at King Haakons Gate, Narvik in 1910. She married Kaare Prytz who was born on 11^th November 1902 and who died on 18^th September 1958. They had two sons and a daughter, the youngest son having been born at Doha in Qatar, and they were Kjell Amund Prytz born on 6^th May 1935, Trude Prytz born on 16^th April 1938, and Tom Collett Prytz was born on 23^rd November 1946. Ragnhild Prytz nee Collett died on 30^th April 1986.
	The town of Namsos has a relatively short, but chequered history. First established in 1845 comprising mostly timber houses, it was destroyed by fire on three occasions. The first 1872, then again in 1897 and finally on 20^th April 1940 when the town was bombed by German planes to mark Hitler’s birthday.
24P11	Julie Essendrop Collett, of Oslo, was born at Narvik on 4^th May 1910, another daughter of Tom John Collett and Thrine Essendrop Kobro his first wife. On the day of the census in 1910, she and her family were living at King Haakons Gate in Narvik when she was recorded as Julie Kobro Collett. It was later that, as Julie Essendrop Collett, she married Ernest Sinding, a college lecturer, although they had no issue. Ernest was eleven years older than Julie, having been born on 4^th October 1898. Sadly, for Julie, Ernest died on 21^st September 1962 at the age of 73, while she survived him by nearly forty years, when Julie Essendrop Sinding passed away on 5^th May 2001, the day after she celebrated her 91^st birthday.
24P12	Lilla Collett, of Oslo, was born at Narvik on 5^th September 1915, the only child from the second marriage of Tom John Collett and Alfnild Lilla Dovle. Like her father, Lilla was also married twice in her life, on the first occasion to (1) Herbert Thorsen on 19^th October 1940, with whom she had no children and who may have been a casualty of the war. It was after the Second World War that she later married (2) Thomas Gaarder, with whom she had two children, both of them born in Blommenholm. They were Gunhild Gaarder who was born on 1^st October 1948, and Hans Thomas Gaarder was born on 4^th June 1954. Thomas Gaarder was born on 8^th July 1915 and died on 29^th June 1992, followed eighteen months later by Lilla, who passed away in 20^th January 1994.
24P13	Karen Collett was born on 25^th April 1923 and she married Erik Moen who was born on 11^th January 1921.

The couple’s youngest child, while born Moen, later in his life used his Collett forename as his surname. Much later, Karen Moen nee Collett died on 3^rd October 2004 at the age of 71.
	24Q5	John Peter Collett (Moen)			Born during 1953 in Oslo
24P15	Rigmor Collett of Oslo was born on 29^th December 1903. She married Finn Fougner who was born on 18^th March 1901 and they had two sons and a daughter. There is an earlier mention of the Fougner family at Ref. 24O17, and a later mention at Ref. 24P23.
24P16	Else Collett was born in Norway on 8^th September 1905 and married her Danish relative Harald Peter Otto Collet – see The Denmark Line Ref. 25P4 for further family details. Elsie Collett died on 17^th April 1990. Harald’s great grandfather was the brother of Else’s great grandfather. It should also be noted that the Danish branch of the Collett spelt their name with only one t.
24P17	Nanna Elisabeth Collett was born on 4^th June 1917. She never married and died on 14^th February 1958 at the age of forty. A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Nanna Collett FODT 4-6-1917 DOD 17-2-1958”. The name of her sister Kathleen Collett (below) is also listed on the same headstone.
24P18	Camilla Collett of Oslo was born on 20^th September 1919. She married in Oslo to director Andreas Ebbing and they had three daughters and a son. Andreas was born on 27^th August 1918 and died on 22^nd December 1983. Camilla Ebbing nee Collett died on 26^th December 2003.
24P19	Kathleen Collett was born in Christiania on 22^nd August 1921. She married ambassador Rolf Fredrik Hancke who was born on 17^th July 1920. The marriage produced twin sons Fredrik Rolf Hancke and Johan Peter Hancke who were born on 20^th December 1947 and a daughter Karen Kristine Hancke who was born on 19^th August 1953. It was as a result of Rolf’s work, that the family lived in New York from 1950 to 1953, and that was followed by a year in Copenhagen. From 1959 to 1965 they lived in Washington, immediately following which they lived for the next two years in Geneva.
	In 1971 Kathleen and Rolf were divorced when Kathleen was living in Oslo and Rolf was ambassador to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) in Paris. Three years later Rolf died on 30^th November 1974. Towards the end of that decade Kathleen left Oslo when she moved to Bergen in the late 1970s. And it was at Brattholmen on Sotra, just west of Bergen, that Kathleen Hancke nee Collett died on 30^th January 1984 at the age of 62.
	By a strange coincidence on the very evening that Kathleen Collett would have been eighty-eight years old, her two sons and many other members of the Collett family from Norway and abroad were taking part in a Collett celebration at the home of Tom Oscar Collett (Ref. 24Q8) as part of the 2009 Collett Reunion in Oslo. A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Kathleen Collett FODT 22-8-1921 DOD 31-1-1984”. The name of her sister Nanna Collett (above) is also listed on the same headstone.
	Kathleen’s son Fredrik Hancke died on 3^rd June 2013 at the age of 65. His funeral was held on 10^th June in Uranienborg church, one of the larger churches in Oslo, with between 400-500 people attending. The priest and Fredrik's son Rolf called for both smiles and laughs from the congregation as they described Fredrik's life and his personality. Even in such a serious situation it was becoming that Fredrik's humorous side and positive attitude to life became part of the service. Fredrik was married to Elizabeth and, in addition to his son Rolf, the couple had two daughters Anne and Christine.
24P20	Rosa Kathrine Agnes Collett was born in Oslo on 4^th September 1948. She married Per Jakhelln in June 2006 and was a member of the committee which organised the Collett Family Reunion in Oslo in August 2009. This photograph of Rosa was taken at the site of the Collett graves in the churchyard at Nykirke on Saturday 22^nd August 2009. On this occasion Rosa placed a wreath on the commemorative plaque listing eight of the early members of the Collett family buried there, as part of the reunion celebrations.
	During the previous evening, Rosa and Per held a party at their home for the ninth generation of Norwegian Colletts, as part of the reunion celebrations. See separate webfile for a full report, with pictures, of the four-day reunion event.
24P21	John Albert Collett, of Hawaii in the USA, was born at Aker in Oslo on 3^rd August 1911. He married (1) Martha Jane Spanton who was born on 22^nd May 1933, but who tragically died soon after the wedding in 1954. John later married (2) Ellen Kapfer who already had a daughter Nina Kapfer who was born on 15^th May 1962. John Albert Collett died in Hawaii on 15^th July 1999.
24P22	Nanna Elise Collett (known as Nannalise) of Aker in Norway was born on 27^th May 1913. She married Johan Henrik Paaske and they had two sons and a daughter. Johan was born on 19^th April 1904 and died on 14^th February 1971. Nanna Elise Paaske nee Collett lived on until 26^th February 1999 when she passed away at the age of 86.
24P23	Aase Ingeborg Collett was born on 2^nd January 1909. In 1931 she married Eiliv Fougner (known as Bob) of Oslo and they had four daughters and a son. Bob was born on 20^th May 1904 and died on 14^th March 1972, the exact same day that Aase and one of their daughters died. Tragically, on the return flight from a holiday in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) the plane, on which Aase and Bob and one of their daughters were travelling, was due to land for a refuelling stop at Dubai, but the plane hit a mountain between Fujairah and Dubai, killing everyone onboard. Aase was the third member of the Collett family to marry a member of the Fougner family – see Ref. 24P15 and Ref. 24O17.
24P24	Karen Collett (known as Kari) of Asker in Norway was born on 12^th February 1910. She married Erling Holtsmark Bredal and they couple had two daughters and a son. Erling was born on 2^nd December 1903 and he died on 15^th August 1970.
24P25	Eva Collett was born on 17^th September 1914 and she was married in Oslo to director Sonnich Sonnichsen who was born on 7^th February 1906. Their marriage produced two daughters. Eva Sonnichsen nee Collett died on 1^st June 1983.
24P26	Carl Oscar Collett was born on 2^nd February 1922 and became a director in Oslo. He married Dagmar Gunla von Sydow Bodtker who was born on 23^rd January 1926. Sadly, he passed away on 21^st May 2008 and was buried on 30^th May. It was just over eight years later when the death of Dagmar Collett was reported in the Aftenposten on 15^th November 2016. The memorial notice confirmed that she had been born on 23^rd January 1926 and had passed away on 9^th November 2016. Listed were her five children Albert and Bente, Tom (and his wife Henriette) and Maria. Also listed were her seven grandchildren Maria, Johan, Cecilie, Ida, Nanna, Cornelia and Oscar.
	24Q6	Albert Henning Collett					Born in 1950
	24Q7	Bente Dagmar Collett					Born in 1951
	24Q8	Tom Oscar Collett					Born in 1958
	24Q9	Maria Christine Collett twin					Born in 1960
	24Q10	Christopher James Collett twin					Born in 1960
24P27	Alice Collett, who was known as Lisa, was the daughter of Arthur Collett of Norway and his wife Ingeborg Wedel Jarlsberg. She was born in Norway on 23^rd September 1913 and later lived at Lewes in Sussex. In 1936 Alice married Doctor Arthur William Sclater who was born at Newick Park in Sussex on 11^th November 1909, with whom she had two sons. Arthur was the son of the Rev. Francis Sanderson Sclater and Hedda Beer of Oslo who brought him up to speak Norwegian. Alice’s and Arthur’s eldest son, John Richard Sclater was the managing director of the Nordic Bank in London, while the couple’s second son, Michael Victor Sclater was a film director at Lewes. Alice Sclater nee Collett died in May 2005.
	Arthur Sclater died on 2^nd June 2002 at the age of 92. During the Second World War Arthur was the commander and the leader of The Shetland Bus service which sustained Norwegian resistance during the dark days of Nazi rule. This was the organisation through which the Special Operations Executive (SOE) supported saboteurs and other resistance operations in occupied Norway. It was the fact that he and his wife Alice both spoke fluent Norwegian that the two of them were sent to the Shetlands where, to protect their relations in Norway, they called themselves Mr and Mrs Rogers. Between them, the couple made both their home, and the base at Scalloway, a safe haven for Norwegian fisherman and others who were shuttling to and from Norway.
	Such were the risks that the couple were taking, that Alice carried a loaded revolver so that she could shoot herself and her son John, rather than be taken prisoner by the Germans. While Arthur was responsible for supervising every aspect of the sea crossings, Alice was responsible for the care of the passengers.
	The Norwegian fishermen who made countless crossings were incredibly vulnerable to attack from the Luftwaffe and German Navy and during the operation eight crews were lost. One boat, the Bergholm skippered by the renowned Leif Larson, had made fifty-six crossings up to 1943, when it was badly damaged by enemy aircraft. Undaunted, Leif rowed eight wounded crewmen to Alesund, where they hid for many weeks before being rescued.
	The loss of life was becoming so great that the operation was near to closure in 1943. However, following the involvement of President Roosevelt, three submarine chasers were dispatched to support Arthur Sclater and this transformed his operations. Overall, 400 tons of arms and equipment, together with agents, wireless operators, and others, were ferried to Norway, while some 350 Norwegian Resistance fighters were saved from arrest by the Gestapo. For his part in the Special Operations Executive, Arthur Sclater received King Haakon VII’s Liberty Cross and the US Medal of Freedom with bronze cross.
	Having been educated at Charterhouse, Arthur then attended Gonville and Caius at Cambridge, after which he worked in Brazil for the Anglo-Mexican Petroleum Company. He returned to Europe in 1936 to be married, following which he worked in London in the wood-pulp business for Berner, Nicol & Company. After the war Arthur took over control of Berner Nicol.
	Around the same time, he began restoration work on Newick Park, where he was born, and restructuring the estate which had become run-down. Supported by his wife Alice and his estate manager, Arthur made such a success of Newick Park that in 1968 he acquired the adjoining estate of Sutton Hall which increased his total land holding to 2,500 acres which was eventually taken over by his son John.
	Footnote: It is very interesting that in 1932 and 1938 the birth of two Collett children was recorded at Southampton register office in Hampshire. The first of them was Dennis E J Collett whose birth was recorded there (Ref. 2c 98) during the fourth quarter of 1932. The second of them was Brian E Collett whose birth was recorded there (Ref. 2c 72) during the second quarter of 1938. Where these becoming intriguing, is that in both cases, the mother’s maiden name was recorded at Sclater. Both of them were later married in Hampshire. The marriage of Dennis E J Collett and Francine M Houghton was recorded at Winchester register office (Ref. 6b 133) during the last three months of 1962. One year later their son Simon Collett was born and his birth was recorded at Southampton (Ref. 6b 987) during the fourth quarter of 1963, his mother’s maiden name confirmed as Houghton. The marriage of Brian E Collett and Barbara R Wyett was recorded at Southampton register office (Ref. 6b 1649) during the first quarter of 1965. It is now established that they were the sons of Frederick J Collett and Emily G C Sclater whose marriage was recorded at Southampton (Ref. 2c 81) during the last quarter of 1931.
24P28	James Robert Collett was born on 24^th August 1914. He married Wenche Elisabeth Reimers who was born on 23^rd May 1920. The marriage took place in the summer of 1941 and in March the following year the couple’s only child was born. Not long after they were married James, who was more commonly referred to as Robert, sailed from Gothenburg in Sweden to the United Kingdom with the intention of joining the allied forces against Germany.
	Tragically the ship in which he was travelling to England was sunk and James was drowned. James Robert Collett died sometime during November 1941, while his wife Wenche died on 31^st May 1998. A headstone at the multiple Collett grave in Vestre Gravlund in Oslo bears the inscription “Robert Collett 1914 – 1941”. Also included on the same headstone are the details relating to his parents, these being “Arthur Collett 1879 – 1968” and “Ingeborg Collett F. Wedel Jarlsberg 1889 – 1951”.
	24Q11	Espen Robert Collett			Born in 1942
24P29	Nini Ingeborg Collett of Oslo was born on 23^rd March 1917 and she married Arne Durban a well-known sculpture artist of Oslo. Arne was born on 16^th June 1912 and the couple had two daughters.
24P30	Karen Harriet Collett (known as Kaja) was born on 7^th May 1923. She married Herman Alethes Knudtzon of Oslo who was born on 15^th December 1918. The marriage produced two sons and a daughter. The youngest son, Arthur Collett Knudtzon, settled in Fort Lauderdale in Florida with his wife Randi Hansen. Kaja, who was divorced from Herman in 1974, passed away on 12^th August 2014.
24P31	Martha Cathrine Collett (known as Cath) was born on 1^st March 1916. She married Trygve Kristen Peter Mustad and they had three sons and a daughter. Trygve was born on 31^st January 1914 and died on 11^th July 1973, while Cath survived him by just over thirty-eight years, when she died at Lugano in Switzerland on 9^th September 2011.
24P32	Brita Lucie Collett of Oslo was born on 3^rd July 1917, the daughter of Axel Collett and Lucie Trozelli Krefting. She later married Bernhard Cathrinus Paus a medical doctor of Oslo and they had four daughters and two sons. Bernhard was born on 9^th November 1910 and was the brother of Vilhelm Christian Odegaard Paus who married Brita’s sister Gurli Anne Margrethe Collett (below), they being the sons of Nikolai Nissen Paus, a former President of the Norwegian Red Cross. Brita Paus nee Collett died on 28^th June 1998, while her husband Bernhard passed away less than a year later on 9^th February 1999.
	During her life Brita was a Norwegian humanitarian leader and founder of Fransiskushjelpen, a Catholic charitable organisation in Norway which she led from 1956 to 1993. Six years prior to that she converted to Catholicism in 1950 and served as chairman of the Laity Council of Catholic Diocese of Oslo, as a board member of Caritas in Norway from 1965, and a member of governmental committees.
	For her work in those areas, Brita received many decorations, including Knight First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, which she received from King Olav, the St. Halvard Medal which she received from the Mayor of Oslo, and The Paul Harris Medal from Rotary International. She also received decorations from the Pope in the Vatican, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Red Cross.
