[#28914] Christen Nilsen from Eidsvold

[Gjest Clark Monson]

I'm trying to find out about Christen Nilsen who was a soldier with the Eidsvold company when he had an illegitimate son in 1815. The son was named Erik Christensen born May 7, 1815 in Lystad, Brandvold to a widow named Berte Hansdatter Lystad. Christen Nilsen did not marry Berte Hansdatter. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!

It is only one Kristen Nilsen in the 1801-census wich is possible: Lenke

And I guess you have no idea where he was born or his age. One problem is Eidsvoll company, from which districts came their soldiers from.Akershus 1801 = 3 in Hurdal/Feiring 10-11 years, 1 in Eidsvoll 13y., 1 in Ager 7y. and 1 in Sørum 12y. And 1 in Opsloe 21 and already nat.soldier.
