Hi Margit, I think that all the information you sent me is my G'pa Ole's family. The age difference is a shock, it would lead one to believe that Knudt's marriage to Ragnild was probably his second marriage. I wonder why Ragnild would marry someone so much older than her. Ole married at age 36 in 1894 to my grandmother, Emma when she was just 18 years. Perhaps it was common in Norway for men to marry in their 30's. It would be interesting to find out what happened to Tolline and Johannes. It states that the name of the domicle is Stormyren, would that be the name of the farm? Thanks very much, Barb

Hi Barb, Yes there had to be another marriage, his bio says youngest of 10 children. Possible other: (Note his first daughter with Ragnild was named Anne also as is custom to do in a second marriage) KNUD HALVORSEN Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: ANNE ERLANDSDR Marriage: 13 NOV 1817 Sodorp, Oppland, Norway Messages: Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record.
