[#75763] Kirkebok Bergen 1706

[Gjest Margaret Miller]

Hello! I read that Ahasverus Christiansen Jæger was married 10 Jan. 1706 in Bergen's Domkirke. I see from the digitized records that there is no wife listed.When I go to what is available from the church books, there are no records for Domkirken from that time.Is it possible to find that marriage and find the wife? I see Kirsten Castberg as her name in Bergen from 1715, but when they lived in Stavanger, I see her as Tyge Nilsdtr. in 1708 and Kirsten Nilsdtr. Knag in 1710! Uff da! Some Internet sources gift this as the same woman, but is it?Thanks for any help you can give me.

There are no Domkirken, Bergen parish registers in 1706, but the bridegrooms payed and they are listed day by day, so we know who paid, how much they paid for their wedding, and when.Tyge is a male, and according to the book 'Stamtavle over Familierne Jæger i Norge', by Olaf Jæger, published in 1917, she was Kirsten Castberg, born i Copenhagen in 1689, died in Bergen i Feb. 1758.Her baptism has not been found in the Copenhagen parish registers.Charles Delgobe claimed she was a daughter of Nils Tygesen Knag/Castberg/Knagenhjelm, but this seems unlikely. In 1762 Maria Castberg, widow of Jan Schubarth, died, and her heirs were the children left by her sister Kirsten Castberg. None of them are registered as Nils Knagenhjelms children.However, it seems likely Kirsten Castberg and her sister Maria Castberg have been related to Nils Knag/Castberg/Knagnhjelm, perhaps as his nieces?
