22 May 1805 - Johanes Thorsen Øqen and Marie Amundsdatter Qvalen

 

Here is the 1801 Census for Qvalen

There is a Johanes living there, but Marie is not.

 

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with current Oppland farm names.

 

'Øqen' would most certainly be translated to 'Økven' or 'Øken' nowadays. 'Qvalen' would be translated into 'Kvalen' or 'Kvålen'.
