I cannot figure this out and am trying to help a 96 year old woman with her late husband’s genealogy. Olaus Christoffersen married Anne Kirstine Olsdatter at Bragernes church/Drammen 14 November 1852. His birthdate is given as 24 1/3 and hers as 32 5/8. His parish is listed as Hoff/Strømsø and hers as Bragernes. I cannot find any baptism for either of these people in any of the parishes listed-Hof (Vestfold), Strømsø or Bragernes. I also wondered if these were ages and tried that route but no luck. I have a birth in Strømsø for an Olaus Christoffersen born 25 February 1825 and several possibilities for Anne in 1824 (Strømsø) and 1829 (Bragernes). I believe the marriage records dates but do not know why I cannot find any trace of these baptisms. Does anyone have any ideas about where to try next? Thank you. Virginia Lindsey

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/kb20061219620228 Record #40 (second entry). The minister has given ages of brides and grooms in the Alder column, not their birth dates in the marriage record.

Does the marriage record list the two fathers' names?  That information could help.

Here is the bride's birth and christening in Bragernes. She is #20 on the female page, born 19 Dec 1819, christened 3 April 1820. She is illegitimate, but the father's name matches her father's name on the marriage record. https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/1064/64 Edward A.
