If this is your Frederick, there is a bit of a conundrum. He says he arrived in 1878 on the 'Smyrna'...which is a bit later than your original info. I have looked at the crew and passenger list for the Smyrna in that year(only one sailing, in August) and can't see a Hanson listed. Off to check 1872. Was your chap a railway fettler?
