The groom's information, if you look at the column headings in the 3rd column is groom's birth place and residence. Hoff is his birth place, and Hoff is a parish in Oppland county, and his residence is Strømsø. The couple is on the 1865 census in Bragernes in Drammen, and he is listed as Olaves Christhofhersen, 38, born Hoff Præstegjeld, and she is listed as Anne Kjerstine Olsdatter, 47, born Drammen (Bragernes is a parish in Drammen by this time). There are 2 children listed there, too. Edward A.
