Morfjord i Ulvøy? (i Hadsel)

[Patricia Carlsen Mikkelsen]

In a user's family file, I saw a reference to this place in Hadsel -- Morfjord i Ulvøy.  When I look at the list of farms and in various censuses, I see a gnr 18 Ulvøy and a gnr 34 Morfjord, but I don't see any place where the two are connected.

 

Can someone help me understand this?

Hadsel was divided between 2 "fjerdinger", Ulvøy and Kalsnes. Morfjord was a farm in Ulvøy fjerding.

That makes sense.  What I don't understand is that in the same family file where I saw "Morfjord i Ulvøy, Hadsel, Nordland", I also saw "Morfjord, Hadsel, Nordland".  Based on what you wrote, I would expect all of the Morfjord farm to be grouped together in Ulvøy.  Do you have any idea why this person would have separated them?

 

Thank you for your help...

Nope!
