I don't find a Halvor Halvorson from Nøtterøy parish, Vestfold fylke in any of the 5 volumes which covers up through 1850.   I'm confused that Halvor and Ole don't have the same patronimic. To that end, I also checked Halvor Anderson, but also came up empty.

However, the library has been closed for a few years now.  All the books are packed away, and they have no idea what they're going to about the building.

I'm interested in buying them, but I first want to make sure they will be of help in my research.   If you own them, please email me and allow me to look up a few of my ancestors and see if there is much information about them, where they came from, where they settled, etc.    I live in East Tennessee, maybe you might know of a library or place to reference the books.
