[#3158] Anne Magrethe Timansdatter f 1754 in Buskerud?

[Gjest VF Larsen]

One of my ancestors, Anne Magrethe Timansdatter was married to Siul Tollevsen and lived in late 1700 and early 1800 on Solberg farm in Lardal,Vestfold. I have however not found any record of Anne's, or any other Timansen/datter's, baptism in the kirkebok for Lardal. The 1801 census reveals however several Timmansen/datter living in Buskerud, many of the right age to be Anne's brothers or sisters. Can anybody help to pinpoint Anne's birthplace/date for me? Anne's year of birth, according to the census of 1801 was 1754.

I would start my search in Sandsvær. "Lardal bygdebok" says that Sjul (Siul) came from Sandsvær, and that is close to Lardal. You have 4 Timandsen/datter there. Many people from Sandsvær moved to Lardal.mvh Berit

I am not sure, but I think Hans Jørgen Tidemansen (Timansen) Gannestad in Borre parish, Vestold is a descendant here. I unfortunately don´t have my familiy notes here in Sweden, but if I remember right Hans Jørgen´s father was Tideman (Timan) Siulsen and son of your Siul and his wife Anne Magrethe. If so I might have some information for you which I´ve got from a relative in Vestfold. My conection to this familiy is that Hans Jørgen married my great-great-great-grandfather´s sister Else Marie Arnesdatter from Grønlien i Borre. Mvh Marius

Thank, Berit and MariusBerit; As I have no access to any Bygdebok, could you give me some indication as to the volume of information available on Siul, a sentence, paragraph, page or what?Marius; My ancestor was Tollev Siulsen, which became Siversen when he moved to Larvik. He is Timan's younger brother. Any information would be helpful E-mail adress is vidar@chemeng.strath.ac.ukmvh Vidar

In the parish record from Sandsvær (Buskerud) I have found one Anne Margrethe, daughter of Timand Hansen Wettestad, bapt. on April 3, 1754 in Efteløt church. Could this be the person you are looking for? Anne Margrethe's parents, Timand Hansen Wettestad and Anne Olsdatter got married on June 24, 1753 (same church, same parish). Vettestad was farm number 44 in Sandsvær.
