The family in 1865, Ole obviously not born yet. The rest seems to fit however... http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01038394003729 <http://gda.arkivverket.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=24&filnamn=f61931&gardpostnr=422&personpostnr=2872&merk=2872#ovre> The birth and batism of Ole Enok Martin June 4, 1868.

It would seem this is his emigration from the port of Kristiansand, the southernmost city of Norway in 1902. He's taken work as a deckhand working his way over to New York. I have not verified the information. But so far it seems to be good.
