[#57173] Farm name Tolnæs or Toldnæs in Øyestad

[Gjest Byrom Thorgeson Wehner]

I am seeking information about a farm name of Tolnæs or Toldnæs, probably in Øyestad and possibly a subfarm of Nævisdal. I have not been able to find the name in the Internet sites for Oluf Rygh's Norske Gaardnavne or the Matrikkelutkastet av 1950. Recorded in the Øyestad Official Parish Register, 1805-1824, folio 385, right page, is the marriage of Gunder Olsen Tolnæs and Karen Bentsdatter Roudelien (my 4 times great-grandparents) on 7 Apr 1813. Recorded in the same register, folio 72, right page, is the baptism of their daughter Anne on 3 Oct 1813 with father Gunder Olsen Tolnæs. However, Anne's confirmation record in 1828 records a birthplace of Nævisdal. Recorded in the Øyestad/Øyestad, Froland, Hisøy Official Parish Register, folio 2, no. 9, is the baptism of daughter Gunnild on 18 Feb 1816 (f. 3 Feb 1816) with father Gunder Olsen Toldnæs. However, Gunnild's confirmation record in 1831 also records a birthplace of Nævisdal. The baptisms records of other children of Gunder and Karen who were born later have the father as Gunder Olsen Nævisdal.

On gislink.no I found 3 places named Tollnes in the general area. See the green pins on the map. Don't know if any of these fit your location though.

Thank you both for the responses, especially the added family history. I could not have found what I sought without your help.
