It looks as though I was looking at the wrong Tønnes - according to Harald and his findings. I do hope that I have not inconvenienced you because Tønnes on Budal looked like a good candidate. I believe that my friend will have to get the census and parish records to prove that the man on the 1865 census was indeed Tønnes Tollefs. instead of Tønnes Petters. as recorded. http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&filnamn=f61001&gardpostnr=194&personpostnr=2156&merk=2156#ovre Perhaps the census taker assumed Tønnes was the son of Petter or the transcriptionist of the file, assumed the same. I had rejected this Tønnes before, even though the daughter and wife fit. I have learned another good lesson! Thank you again for the lookup. I know this will help someone else some day!
