1900 census LenkeThe parents were from Sweden. Nils Nilsen was a tailor.

This is no doubt Nils and Augusta's marriage: Lenke

Here is Claes' christening in 1891(line 73) Lenke

[Gjest Harald Storaker]

Claes Nilsen was born in Møllergata 44. That's a street in Oslo, - no farm.The dates of birth for his parents in 1900 census are probably very wrong. I guess the chuch records are right, Nils Wilhelm Nilson was born 1854 Lenke

[Gjest Kjellaug Robberstad Petit]

Augusta's surname seems to be written Helgren in the christening recordsfor their son, I've looked for a Warngren without finding her.
