[#62289] Ellert Ellertsen (Frøitland i Fede) possible 1805 birth record

[Gjest Chad Ellison]

Hello,I have a death record that identifies Ellert Ellertsen was born in 1804 in Frøitland i Fede.Census records identify his birth year as 1804 and birthplace as Kvinesdal.I have had a very difficult time trying to track down his birth record.However, I have just found the Nedre Kvinesdal 1789 - 1815 parish registry.Page 36 (Lenke) identifies an Eilert born in 1805 and the birthplace looks to be Frøitland.Is anyone able to read the names of the birth parents, or can someone let me know if this record is an unlikely match?Thanks, any and all help is appreciated.

According to the note Eilert was born illegitimate. His mother was 'Abel Jensdatter Raustad' and his father was 'Ejlert Andersen? Frøjtland'.

Eilert fathers name Andersen?Maybe Eilert father name is Eilert Anstensen?Frøitland 1801.There is a man called Eilert Anstensen Deres børn 20 Ugift Lenke

Any comments on how convincly this Eilert matches the Ellert in the original Kvinesdal death record, Lenke (see line 10)?

According to the 'bygdebok' of Kvinesdal (Kvinesdal - ei bygdebok) written by Ånen Årli you are correct in assuming that the person in entry no. 1 is identical to the person in entry no. 4.The 'bygdebok' has got the following information (translated):Serine Olsdatter Guse 1802-1872, married to Ellert Ellertsen Frøytland 1805-1881. His grandparents lived at Frøytland in 1801 and were called Ansten Atlaksen (64 years old) and Anna Eriksdatter (60 years old). Ellert got ownership of his farm at Guse by marriage. His wife Serine died 1872 and in 1878 he remarried Eline Antonisdatter from Øye, Liknes parish, Kvinesdal. Ellert was a respected man and in some ways a leader of his community. During county- and state-elections his neighbours always asked to whom he had given his vote, and afterwards they used to say: 'I vote like Ellert - like Ellert - like Ellert'. Children of his first marriage: 1) Ole Ellertsen 1827, 2) Andreas Tobias Ellertsen 1829, 3) Jens Ellertsen 1835, 4) Abel Marie Ellertsdatter 1838, 5) Elias Ellertsen 1844, 6) Samuel Ellertsen 1847. Children of his second marriage: 7) Eilert Severin Ellertsen 1879.
