ERICKSON, Carl Emmanuel, b. 18-Dec-1846, possibly Göteborg

[Erickson]

My great grandfather Carl Emmanuel ERICKSON was born 18-Dec-1846, possibly in Göteborg (parish unknown). He travelled to England in the late 1860's with a Carl Axel von REIS. He settled in London and died in 1891 at the young age of only 44.
 
I do not know under what circumstances he left Sweden. It appears that it may not have been with the approval of his family. As far as I know he never returned to Sweden to make his peace with the family.
 
Any information will be most appreciated.
 
Thank you in advance.
