Help with Norwegian church records
« on: Saturday 15 July 17 00:01 BST (UK) »
Can someone help me with reading the words I cant read on the attached marriage record.
I only know that the bridegroom is John Halvorsen, and the bride is Karen Kirstine Isachsen. On most of the other marriage entries on the page, the ages in years of the couple are included, but not for this entry.
Regards
Frank

Hi Frank

I have tried to decypher this but it is hard to read. All I can make out that could be of importance is the farm's name: Melsom gaard. (Melsom Farm) and that he is from Hole parish (it looks like Hole, I think).
Also, although I am only speculating, it looks as though he could have been married before. I see (I think) a surname "Pernillesen" - I may be wrong though.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for that, which opens up some new areas for me. i wondered if 'Hole' might be 'Holt' where their children were born, (assuming its the same couple) which could indicate that is where he returned to.
I see that there is a 'Melsom' farm at Stokke, so that matches, thankyou.
I wondered if 1783 could be his birth year??
Could you get anything from the bride's details. I am curious as to why there doesnt seem to be any any indication of her age, which is entered for all other marriages on the page.
I will search if I can find an earlier marriage for John.
Thanks again
Frank

Hi Ian,
Sorry, I just realised that you have already given me information about the bride, re  Melsom farm.

Also, I think that the words at the end on John's, could be Jern Verk, which I think means ironworks. I see that there was an ironworks about 40km from Stokke, and also one at Holt.
Regards
Frank

Hi Ian,
Yes, i have 6 baptism records, from 1823 to 1835. A couple of them include 'Nas Jern Vork' that I understand is the name of the ironworks at Holt.  I have attached one of them 'Christiane Kirstine' which is item 8 on the list. In this record, the mother is recorded as Karen Isaachsen. In others she is Karen Kristine Halvosen. it varies.

I can provide you with the details of dates and pages with the others if it helps. I havnt yet made copies of the others, but could do so if it helps.
Regards
Frank

Hi
I have had a look around the Holt Church Books but they are a bit limited unfortunately so there wasn't much to find.
According to a tree on Ancestry this is John Halvorsen's birth record:
