Translation of unusual baptism record

[Claire Krogstad]

I am requesting help with understanding an unusual baptism record -- I do not see that the mother's name is recorded.  

 

I am an American using the Norway Archives to research family.  All other Norwegian baptism records for other family members have always listed both parents.  

 

I have found a confirmation record for a daughter with the same birth date, listing both father Peder Christiansen and mother Martha Johannesdatter.   That daughter's name is Ane Pedersdatter.  

 

Would someone be able to translate this baptism record, for all information except the Sponsors?  

 

The record is located here, #26, for Peder Christensen, the father of the child.

Thank you for your help.

Peder Christensen is the child's name, not the father's. His parents are not named, but they were later married.

 

BTW, it's mandatory to use your full name as user name in this forum. See instructions for how to change your username.

Thank you for the information about displaying my full name, now updated.  I am new to this forum as of yesterday.  

 

Thank you as well for your translation of the baptism record.  I would like to give  more information, in hopes that  I can understand this 1832 baptism record better. 

 

Ane Pedersdatter is my great great grandmother.  I can validate that she is a daughter of Peder Christiansen and Martha Johannesdatter by her confirmation record (linked in below) which lists her birthdate as March 28, 1832 (exactly the same as the birth date on the baptism record), by her marriage record, and also by her younger brother Hans being a Sponsor to one of Ane's granddaughter (and other family record ties.)  She married in 1865, her calculated birth date from that record is 1832.   I can track Ane Pedersdatter directly in my family tree.    

 

The assumed  parents Peder Christiansen (Jerico/Jeriko/Jericho Øye Melhus, later Mule Bynæset) (son of Christian Iversen and Ane Pedersdatter Gimse) and Martha/Marta Johannesdatter Heggen?) did marry about six months after this baptism record, and had many many more children.   They moved from Øye Melhus to Mule Bynæset sometime between 1832 and 1836, where all later children were born.  Peder Christiansen's mother name was Ane, his father's name was Christian, which is also the name of one of Ane's younger brothers.  

 

But with all that proof, I still have questions and concerns.  Why wasn't the child's name listed on the baptism record?  The full set of Sponsors are listed,  More importantly, why wasn't the mother's name listed there?  That they were not yet married should not be the reason for not listing the mother's name, I can look a few entries up that baptism page and see that another child with unmarried parents is listed with all the standard information.  

 

This concerns me because Ane is the first child in this couple's family, and I have wondered if she had another birth parent than Peder and Martha, but that then Peder and Martha married, and raised Ane as fully as one of their own.

 

Thank you for any insight you might have on this curious baptism record.
