As I indicated earlier Hof or Hoff could be in Hedmark or Vestfold. The marriage in Bragernes in November of 1852 says Olaus is 24 and 1/3 years old. 1/3 year is 4 months, so counting back from November 4 months is July. 24 from 1852 is 1828. We know from the marriage that Olaus is the son of a Christopher Olsen. That makes the following entry from Hof in Vestfold very likely. This Olaus is born 23 July 1828 and christened in Hof in Vestfold 31 August 1828, and the father is Christopher Olsen. This would certainly be a strong possibility. It is entry #21. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8138/60 Kirkebøker: SAKO, Hof kirkebøker, F/Fa/L0004 ...<https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/8138/60> media.digitalarkivet.no Ministerialbok for Hof prestegjeld 1814-1843 (0714P), Astaref: SAKO/A-64/F/Fa/L0004 I hope this is the one and that it helps.
