Østen Hansen, f ~ 1763

[gj09631]

I am looking for the birth and marriage of Østen Hansen, who is listed in the 1801 Ringsaker census as being 38 years old, at the Nøsterberget farm, and married to Anne Jensdtr.

I have been able to find the births of several of their children in Ringsaker, and two possible choices for the birth of Anne Jensdtr, but not the birth of their first child, Hans Østensen, born about 1793. So, perhaps the family lived in a neighboring area.

Any help would be much appreciated og De kan skrive på norsk.

The children, Ole, 1796, Marte 1797, Ole 1800 and Amund 1803 was born in Ringsaker. Their oldest son Hans was born somewhere else, possibly Fron because they were not married in Ringsaker or the neighbours areas. Hans and Marte were married in Ringsaker...
Moving inn to Ringsaker records did not start so early. Then this is a very timeconsuming and difficult task.
My guess is that they came from Fron in Gudbrandsdalen..

Thanks, Hans. I will search the Fron records to see what I can find. This is for an 85 women who was born in Norway and now lives in New Zealand and has at least two of us lag looking for her ancestral data.

You wrote that Hans (Østensen?) was married in Ringsaker. Can you send me some information on that marriage? I have the marriage of Marte Østensdtr.

Takk,

John

Kirkebøkene fra Fron før 1800 har dessverre gått tapt i brann så vidt jeg vet.
