Could a kind volunteer help me to fully translate an 1860 Danish church record?
This is the link : https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16996886#122214,34952772
I am trying to read the notes added about Robertus and Peter Muller by their father Robertus. I am happy with any further information.
So far I think it says:
sets sail from Copenhagen July 27th 1859 heading for Newcastle on a ship called "B.F.L. Pl..?..]. Then returns from New York October (?)3rd 1861 after having been employed on the ship "Bl[..?..]".
Any help with the is other information on the side as well would be great too.
Thank you

Okay, here we go:
This military records shows, that the two brothers, Robertus Christian Jacob Müller, born 1841, has been noted in the records for 1856-1861, but did not show up in 1862. Actually, these records are not from the military, but from the navy, and he is descriped as "helbefaren", which means, he is well known with life aboard a ship.
His younger brother, Peter Frederik Müller, born 1842, is noted to be aboard a ship 27. july 1859 in Copenhagen, Denmark, heading for Newcastle, England, with the ship C.F.L. Plune (99% sure of this name), then in October 1861 he deserted a ship Caro, in the harbour of New York, United States. No more records of him after this. And the last words are: 1862 - did not show up (to speak to the person at the military, who wrote this record)

Dear Bodil
Thank you so much for your help. I have been very lucky with having help from people in Denmark in the tracking my possible ancestor "Robertus". However everyone was having trouble reading the old text included previously. You however have been a great help in reading the text for us. I was very keen to understand it. Thank you so much.
One extra question please, does it say "Newcastle UK" or is the UK assumed? As you can see I am from Newcastle NSW Australia. We think this is my ancestor but we need to put him in Newcastle harbour, NSW Australia by the late 1860s where he worked as a seaman.
Once again thank you so much. Hope you can clarify if it says England or Uk. Or..... can I get excited?

Hi.
In Denmark, if anyone writes Newcastle, we assume it is Newcastle UK - it does not say so in the text - but this is how any dane would read it.
Greetings from Denmark.
