Ser etter foreldre og kanskje mer

[Daryl Widebeck]

Som tittelen sier, ser jeg etter foreldrene til Elisabeth Andersdatter, født ca 1783, jeg tror på Vestfold, Norge. Gift med Nils Amundsen i 1802. Datter er Annichen Nilsdatter født 1804. Eventuelle assitence? Takk på forhånd.

Maybe this is your Lisbeth in census 1801 https://www.digitalarkivet.no/census/person/pf01058285001062

No. 12 Lispet Andersdatter 30 years and servant

Daryl, please write in English! Most Norwegians in this forum both read and write English well.

 

Eegholdt (modern spelling Ekholt) is in the center of what now is the suburb of Konnerud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnerud 

Here is a transcription of the baptism in 1804: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000011283019 

Here you'll see that this baptism took place at "Værket", that is Konnerudverket, and the church is the one mentioned as Konnerud old church in the wikipedia article. Konnerud was a sub-parish of the Skoger parish.

 

At the wedding in 1802 Lisbeth is written from the Solum farm: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/327/pv00000002297793 

And, as shown by Berit in #3, there was a maid with the same name living there in 1801.

Just one month after the census was taken, I find a Lisbeth Andersdatter - probably from Solum - as a baptism witness in Tangen Church, another sub-parish of Skoger: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000011282096 

 

This is right in the outskirts of the part of Drammen called Strømsø. The distance between Tangen Church and Strømsø Church is just about a mile. It's my experience that the same persons living in this area frequently are found in the church records of both Skoger and Strømsø. Thus, I'll advise you to take into account that it is equally likely that Lisbeth may have been born in Drammen as somewhere in Vestfold.

Dag, as for the English, Thank you.  I was trying not to be rude by assuming English would be spoken.  I should have known better, both times I have visited Norway, all were wonderful and spoke it.  Again, did not want to be rude.

Very often stated age in the censuses is pretty inaccurate. Thus, we need to have a broad approach to when "your" Lisbeth was born.

 

I find these possible candidates baptized in Drammen in the 1770s and early 1780s:

 

Lisbeth - baptized in Strømsø Church 2 April 1780, parents Anders Bentsen and Mari Olsdatter: 

SAKO, Strømsø kirkebøker, F/Fa/L0009: Parish register (official) no. I 9, 1752-1791, p. 80

Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20061219630604 

 

Elisabet - baptized in Bragernes Church 6 Nov 1774, parents Anders Haagensen and Dorthe Ouvensdatter: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000005550844 

 

Strømsø is the part of Drammen that is south of the river and Bragernes the part north of the river. In addition, the distance is short to the neighboring parishes of Eiker, Lier, Røyken and Hurum, all in Buskerud. From Solum you can see straight across the fjord to both Lier and Røyken. That is rowing distance!

 

To be able to come any closer to who "your Lisbeth might be, Daryl, do you know antything more about her after 1804, that is: 

- where did she live?

- where and when did she die, and if so, what was her age stated to be in her burial record?

- did she have more children, if so where and when, and which names were they given?

 

[Daryl Widebeck]

As of now, all I have is the name and her marriage to Niels Amundsen 6 Nov 1802 in Skoger.  Not much help for my own question.
