Hva betyr «gevorben Soldat ag forrettend?? Asperat i Qvarteret»? (1865 Kristiansand)

[Johan Stenslie]

Jeg forsker Knud Knudsen Wefald. I følge hans barnebarn, i 1862 Knud «went to petty officer’s school in Christianson and graduated at the head of his class.» Jeg tror gevorben soldat betyr det samme som underoffiser eller «petty officer/non-commissioned officer», men hva betyr resten av transkripsjonen?

It says "Gevorben soldat og forrettende Aspirant i qvarteret"

 

Translated "Professional soldier and serving officer candidate in the [soldier´s] quarters [lodgings]."

 

A gevorben soldat is an enlisted - and in this case career/professional - soldier, as opposed to a drafted soldier. An aspirant is a candidate in training, a kvarter (modern Norwegian) is quarters or lodgings. As the census shows, there are also several other private soldiers in the household. In the larger cities, soldiers from the garrison often lodged in private homes.
