Martha Helene Jensdatter, born 24 Jan 1871

Hi,

I am helping a friend find the birth record for Martha Helene Jensen, born 24 Jan 1871 in Oslo (according to sources in America):

I know this is her going to America on 18 Jun 1887:

I know that when she married in Minnesota she used the name "Martha Tallaxrud". Tallaxrud is in Kråkstad, Akershus. I don't think she was born there, but her father probably lived at Tallaxrud at some time.

I think this is Martha, listed as Martha Helene Hansdatter in the 1875 census:

I think the Hans Jensen listed near the top is her father. Can anyone help find a birth record for Martha Helene? In the 1875 census it looks like she might have a twin brother named Jens Hagbart.

Mvh,

Brian

Looks like she emigrated together with her father Hans Jensen and a man named Fredrik Hansen.

Here is Hans Jensen (born in Kråkstad) & family on the 1885 census

Martha is not listed with the family.

Here is the confirmation of twin brother Jens Hagbart in Kampen church April 1885

I can see the name Fredrik Hansen among the godparents.

The family lived on the address Stupindgaden 7.
This street does not exist any more. It was Enerhaugen. Some of the houses from Enerhaugen are at the Norwegian Folk Museum at Bygdøy.
