Great-Great-Great Grandfather's burial info; was one of Norway's 1st Methodist Pastors

[Z. Stensen]

I am visiting Oslo (from the US), and am trying to find where my g-g-g grandparents are buried. My g-g-g grandfather, Sten Andreas Stensen, was one of the first Methodist pastors in Norway, and he is even mentioned in few Methodist history books. In researching the census reports, he resided in a number of places in south-eastern Norway: Fredrikshald, Drammen, Cristiania, West Aker, Horten. He was born in Holden in 1831, and died 2 August, 1878. He was married to Julie Gustava Winberg (renamed Julie Gustava Stensen): born in Laurvig in 1841, and died 22 May, 1915.

 

Any recommendations on how I can find their burial sites and death certificates, and maybe even their marriage certificates? I would love to find this information while I'm in Norway!

 

Regards,

Zach

I think Sten A. Stensen's grave does not longer exist, I cannot find it in the listing of graves in that graveyard.

She also went to AmericA IN 1880

[Z. Stensen]

Thanks Anne! I was walking around the graveyard yesterday, thinking he might be in there. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, though. Does Vår Frelsers Gravlund have a listing somewhere online? I haven't been able to find one.

 

Thanks Erling! My family has done quite a bit of research on Julie's immigration trips to the US. Most of her children that reached the age of adulthood moved to the US, and I think during these trips she was going back to visit them. I know one of my distant uncles moved to New Orleans, and after his wife died, Julie lived with him to take care of the children. Thanks for all of your help!!

Erling, thanks for all of this! I can't believe you can decipher the hand writing in all of these!! Yes, Sten's first wife died...this is who he had his daughter Marie with.
