Looking for the birthdate of Kirstine Svensdatter married to Tørris Petersen 1866

[Merle Nostbakken]

I am looking for the birthdate of Kirstine Svendsdatter Tollefsen of Espenæs I Eg.

So I have been searching for her father, Svend Tollefsen of Espenæs. I may have found him in the 1875 census which gives his birthdate of 1830. His record is on page 708 of the census from Østfold fylke, Sarpsborg prgi and Sarpsborg sogn

 

RA, Folketelling 1875 for 0102P Sarpsborg prestegjeld, 1875, s. 60

Here is the record of Kirstine's marriage to Tørris Petersen. 1866 #2

 I apologize for the downloads. I am getting used to using a different computer.

This wedding took place in Sveio in western Norway, Kirstine's age is set to 18 1/2 years old.

 

The bygdebok for Sveio has Svein Tolleivson Espenes born 1801, dead 1855. A daughter Kristi born 1848 is listed, she was married to 

Ivar Sveinsson Slettevik in America.

If you look at the transcribed version of the 1866 wedding of Kirstine and Tørris in Valenstrand, it has Kirstine’s age set to 1838, that would make her 28 1/2 when she was married. Tørris was born 29 Jan 1837. Is that an incorrect calculation of Kirstine’s age on that transcribed record?

So do you think the daughter of Svend Tollefsen is Kisti? That would make her age at her wedding 18 1/2 rather than 28 1/2 with a birthdate of 1848 and not 1838?

Tørris' age in the church record is 21 years, that suggests his birth in 1844 or 1845. As for Kirstine, the age has clearly been changed to 18 1/2 years. I would trust the original source over the transcribed versions.

Here I found Tørris in the 1865 census, Økland farm in Finnås parish.
