Leonhard Johansen/Jonsen probate

[MarkShepherd]

Leonhard Johansen/Jonsen had a daughter Kari Leonhardsdatter bapt. Dec. 31. 1759 Reinlie in Nord-Aurdal (Ourdal) in Oppland http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9361&idx_id=9361&uid=ny&idx_side=-339. His wife at that time was Karie Olsdatter Stavedal. He later married Joran Nielsdatter in Aurdal October 1771 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9362&idx_id=9362&uid=ny&idx_side=-120, and then married Helga Torkelsdr in Aurdal November 2, 1778 http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9362&idx_id=9362&uid=ny&idx_side=-129. He and his third wife Helga, are listed in the 1801 census http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/WebCens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=5&filnamn=f1801&gardpostnr=15017&personpostnr=234868&merk=234868#ovre. Does anyone know if he has a probate and where it can be found?

I believe both Leonhard and his third wife Helga also died in 1801, see http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?urnread_imagesize=full&info=ingen&hode=nei&show=103&uid=56479&js=j, so the probate should be later that year.

I searched the Valdres Skifteprotokoll 2, late 1800 to early 1802--pages 212-357. I only found a ? Lars Jonsen, probate dated 6 Oct 1801. ( page 310 http://arkivverket.no/URN:sk_read/25294/160/?size=full&mode=0) I am not sure if there could be a mistake with the first name (Lars instead of Leonhard) in the probate or whether I read the name Lars incorrectly but I was wondering if someone with better Norwegian Gothic reading skills could check this record to see if any of the wives or children are the same as those of Leonhard Jonsen/Johansen.

 

Thank you

Hi Mark,

 

This Lars Jonsen is survived by his wife, Sigrie Olsdatter, so obviously, this is not your Lars...

Thank you Gunnar! Can anyone tell me where else I should search for Leonhard's probate? (See burial at http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?urnread_imagesize=full&info=ingen&hode=nei&show=103&uid=56479&js=j)
