Not necessarily. The name Marius Petersen appears to be quite common in Denmark, and the one you found in all those census might be a different person from the one who did/didn't sail on the Titanic.Everything about Marius Petersen from his birth 1887 to the census 1911 is completly wrong. This Marius Petersen never left Denmark. I have found him in census' 1911, 1916, 1921, 1925 and 1930. He is well and living in Denmark.
Accepted. Then who is the (other?) Marius Petersen who worked briefly in Denmark as a milk delivery man, emigrated to England in 1911 and was living and working in Southall, London? There is quite a bit of history on ET including names of his guardians, foster parents etc. Also that article in the West Middlesex Gazette about his last minute cancellation of his Titanic ticket and refund and which even claims that after the disaster his 'many' worried friends received a letter from him reassuring that he was all right? Surely, all of that cannot be made-up, especially the newspaper article. I mean if he was just a Dairy Farm worker, why would the paper go into all that trouble to concoct a story?Marius Petersen born 19. july in Nysted never left Denmark. He is Marius Petersen born 19. july in Taagense, Nysted in the censuses'.
Both names Marius and Petersen are very common in Denmark, which makes it so much harder.
I have searched the old papers (they are online) but no one have any information about him other than he is on the list of victims.
Maybe they mix him up with the other Marius Petersen because he was from the same area of Denmark.
The reasons why it is believed Marius Petersen/Pedersen never boarded are (according to the book "De Dansk Fortællinger, the Danish tales" by Jesper Hjermind and Mett McCall) on the boardinglist with people boarding in Southampton Marius has a dot beside his name as the only one. The rest have like a check sign. He was also repaid 80 % of the tickets prize
This complicates the picture even further if the Marius Petersen born on 19th July 1887 was a dairy worker. I was going by the information that you supplied that Marius Petersen of Nysted never left Denmark. But in the above post you have acknowledged that he might have travelled to England in 1911 but was definitely not on the Titanic. Then there is the information that his name on the passenger list was not ticked and that he received 80 to 90% of the ticket cost as refund. OK.It seems more likely to me. He was not onboard
