[#25727] Lars Nilsen Skrefsrud - Kongsberg

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

I'm trying to find the birth and death dates for Lars Nilsen Skrefsrud who married my gggrandmother, Else Jakobsdatter Skøien in 1882 in Kongsberg. He was born abt 1817. He was the uncle of Lars Olsen Skrefsrud, the missionary to India. I believe Lars Nilsen was originally from Faaberg.Robert

Hei Berit og Kjellaug! Tusen takk! Thank you both so much for your help. I will look over your responses. I think this may give me more information and leads on his life. I know he had a farm outside of Kongsberg where he died before 1900. I just don't know anything more. Robert

[Gjest Kjellaug Robberstad Petit]

This must be the father in the 1801 census as he's the only one with such a name : [url="http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f10524&gardpostnr=124&personpostnr=2486&merk=2486&tid=09:29:19#ovre>LenkeBut there are at least two different Ingebor Larsdtr who could be the mother :

Thank you Kjellaug! I am sure you are right. Robert

[Gjest Berit Knudsen]

Is this your forefather in 1865 ? Lenke

[Gjest Robert L. Evensen]

Hei Berit! I believe you are correct. Lars Nielsen Skrefsrud didn't marry Else Jakobsdatter Skøien until 1882, so he must have had a previous wife and children. My grandmother says that they lived on Ekermoen, but perhaps it is the same as Ekermogaden. Robert
