In Klokkerboka for Fredriksvern church I have found the following entry under baptisms;Folio 25b, entr5y no 64. Born: 30/5/1848. Baptised 30/9/1849: Severin Martin who was ægtefødt. The parents were Underof. Hans Halvorsen and Anne Maline (I think) Henriksdatter. Godparents (faddere) were Inger Isaksdatter, Nikoline Olsdatter, Lars Hansen, Gunnerius Isachsen and Ole something or other (can't read the name).I time permits next week will search for an entry under marriage.

A search of Klokkerboka for Fredriksvern church under baptisms (1840-60), confirmations (1856-76), burials (1848-60) has only yielded one additional piece of information.Under baptisms, Folio 15b Entry no 15 Born: 19/5/1845, Baptised: 13/7/1845 Hanna Henrikke who was ægtefødt. Parents Underofficer Hans Halvorsen and Hustru Anne Malene Henriksdatter. Godparents: Cathrine Jansdatter, Johanne Marie Halvorsd., Halvor Hansen, Christian Henriksen and one other (can read the name) Hanna whas baptised at home before being brought to the church.They must have lived in Fredriksvern for a short time only.

Thanks again Vidar.I wonder if you have the possibility to check if his parents got married in Fredriksværn.If so it would make me able to find out where they came from.

[Gjest Rune Thorstensen]

To Vidar.I have reason to believe that Severin Martins father came from Horten.At least that is what the churcbooks says when Severin was married.Is it possible for you to see if Hans Halvorsen and Anne Malene Henriksdatter was married in Horten?

[Gjest Vidar F Larsen]

Sorry. My own ancestors were from Greater Larvik area. I do not have any copies of kirkebøker further north in Vestfold. By the way I gave you the wrong year of baptism for Severine Martin. It should be 1848 and not 1849
