Where is Ouen Ouensson from?

[Merle Nostbakken]

I am looking for Owen Owenson (English spelling) who may have been born in Norway 12 June 1869. He died in Iowa USA 6 Dec 1932. On 6 Nov 1891 he married Caroline/Carrie Musland 1831 - 1902 who was born in Hordaland and died in Iowa USA.

 

I have not found the record for Carrie yet but believe she was born in Hordaland so may be traceable. However, there are no hints as to where Owen may have been born. How would his name be spelled in Norsk or Svensk? The way I have written it is just a guess.

 

Takk for any hints you can give me.

[Merle Nostbakken]

I reported the wrong birthdate for Owen Owenson: It should be 1832. His son, Peter Owenson was born 12 June 1869. Owen Owenson reportedly died in 1878. On his tombstone his name is spelled "Aanen." As well, the marriage is between Peter Owenson and Theodora Peterson on 6 Nov 1891. I do not have a date for the marriage of Aanen and Carrie.

 

I am sorry for the confusion.

First: Owen Owenson was born in Norway in 1833 according to Census 1870. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MDVQ-XZV

 

It was his son Peter who was married 6 Nov 1891 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XJL5-N1V

Peter was born 1869 in Iowa, and his mother was Karen S. Peterson

 

Caroline was widowed in 1880

Aanen Owenson died 3 Aug 1878 according to his gravestone https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/137389197/aanen-owenson

 

In 1870 Owen and Caroline had a daughter Mary, 15 years old, born in Norway.
