The one I think is most likely is at Tr�estorpene Gaard, Brandvold Sogn, Brandvold Prestegaard, Hedmark. Here is the link: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60422&gardpostnr=604&sokefelt=skjul She is age 9 datter of Erik Johansen 49 and Kristine Andersdatter 46. She has 4 brothers and 3 sisters. The second Eli Eriksdatter is age 10, but one or two years variation is common, so you can't really say the age is off so the 9 year old must be the right one. You need to get somebody who can look it up for you to be sure which is correct. http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60422&gardpostnr=248&sokefelt=skjul This family is at Torp Vestre farm in Brandvold. This Eli is age 10 and datter to Erik Eriksen 39and Maria Eriksdatter 40. If this is the right one there are lots of information, including either Erik or Maria's father, also Erik Eriksen 64 and his wife age 40 [obviously not the mother]. Also, one of their mothers appears to be there . sounds confusing, but you can look at it and probably see it clearly. The third Eli is age 11 and the link is: http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f60422&gardpostnr=538&sokefelt=skjul This Eli's parents are Erik Eriksen 34 and Ragnil Martinsdatter 32. Eli's grandparents are there also. Again, I don't have the books to tell you which of these three are correct, but somebody can probably do a look up in the Hedmark site to find which one is correct.
