Biography

Also known as Miles Bjorkman.

By 1892, at the age of 31, Nils Bjorkman had done well for himself. He had asked the local council to build a sewer as he was about to build a terrace of houses in Paddington, NSW. The next year he was described as a 'gentleman' when he was appointed sole executer for his deceased uncle, Magnus Bronner. On 27th June, 1896, the Consul for Sweden and Norway requested information about the death of Nils Bjorkman from the WA government. In March 1899, the auctioneers had received instructions from the Consul for Sweden and Norway to auction the property of Nils Bjorkman, consisting of 7 houses in Paddington and a block of land. There were no beneficiaries named.
