Ancestor Was Illegitimate Making Parents Hard To Figure Out

[AveryFB]

Hello everyone, so essentially my ancestor is Anette Hansine Halvorsdatter/Svensen 1851-1922

 

Her birth records lists both parents but she is listed as Illegitimate so I have no been able to figure out her Grandparents on either side as I don't know how without a marriage record.

 

Birth  1851 https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000005166083

 

Marriage 1872 https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/327/pv00000004451895

 

Census 1875 https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01052041002966

In the original (scanned) version of the 1851 baptism, the mother is written as Pige Pauline Olsdatter Folde af Ous Præstegjeld, which means that she came from Ous Parish. Ous was a common spelling of Os, which was a parish South of Bergen.

 

 there is more text following this. I can't read it, but possibly it says that the child was born at Skaalevig while the mother (or parents) were on their way to someplace starting on B. Bergen would be a guess, but it doesn't quite look like it. I am hoping someone maybe could read it and hopefully it could be a lead

 

Here is a link to the scan of birth records

Any help would be much appreciated and thank you in advance.

You are correct in believing the child was listed as born in Skaalevig. The place name is written in the column for birth date with no further explanation. Furthermore there is an explanation at the end of the column for name of parents, saying roughly:
Note: the parents, who appear to be engaged to be married, stayed temporarily at Skaalevig while traveling to Bergen.

(OBS Forældrene, der skal være forlove...[cut off by the black shadow between left and right page] tog [or 'toge', the oldfashioned plural] in paa  Skaalevig paa en Reise  til Bergen og ag...[probably 'agdtede', again partially obliterated by the  shadow) ...[? either 'uopholdelig' or 'opholdelig', that is either without pause or after a pause] at begive sig til deris[?] ...[?Hjembygd?]
My reading is that the father was 'sea faring' (Sö Farende), and it is possible that the word before Sö was Ungkarl -that is, he was not married.

The church book furthermore says that all the information was provided by the two first sponsors.

Thank you for all this info, what would you suggest I do next? Perhaps try to find a marriage in Bergen?

A good start. I suggest that you post the same message in the main forum where you will get a lot more looks and perhaps more answers. Here is a link to the main forum. Loo for the big blue button for New Topics.
