shemademedothis asks: was he Polish or Russian?

I'm wondering about Scandinavia ....

Sorry we've been quiet: flat out with work. Headachy today, but will try to ask lots

Good thinking in that Scandinavia is north of Germany! So neither Polish nor Russian.

so, do we go with Scandinavian, and narrow down as we proceed??

Shemademedothis was pondering whether C was a journalist, for the sake of guessing a professing.

I'm wondering about him being an industrialist of some kind.

obviously 19th century.

Scandinavian, yes, kind of an industrialist, born in 19th century but most of his living was done in the 20th.

Not Sweden.

Norway?
