Hans Nilsen Bakke from Drammen b. 1852 Modum

[gj02130]

Looking for the ancestors of Hans Nilsen Bakke.
1900 Census for Drammen shows him b. 1852;
Modum Buskerud. All children born in Drammen.
Children: Andreas Bakke, Johan Bakke, Hans Bakke, Anna Bakke
and Christian Bakke. He married Maren Johnsdatter
(I believe before 1881) and she apparently died between
1894 and 1900. Street: Haugesgade, and he was a shoemaker.
Thank you so much for your help,

Have had a search on the 1865 census for Modum and found one probable "candidate".

The parents are Nils Andersen (68) and Maren K. Paulsdatter (48). Children: Hans (14), Andreas (9), Johan (3), Gunnild M. (12), Jørgine (6)

The family is living at a farm in Modum called Stensrudengen.
