Searching for Ingeborg Oline Jensdatter Børøen

[gj12325]

Hey everyone!

I'm writting in english cause I don't know Norwegian...
But I'm searching for my 5xgreatgrandmother who came to Denmark about 1820 to Frederiksborg Amt(Espergærde) where she the year after had a child, my 4xgreatgrandmother Elisabeth Marie Pedersen with Peder Jensen. Ingeborg Oline was already married when she arrived in Denmark. Back then her name was Ingeborg Oline Tønsberg and as far as I know she was married with Johan Christian Tønsberg in Dybvåg (Tvedestrand kommune) with whom she also has children with. She died in 1868 in Denmark.

I was hoping someone might help me with finding her parents and heritage in Norway and if someone could find the exact birthday of her. That would be very nice and appreciated

Since she married and got a child in 1809, it is most probably the eldest one that is your candidate? I do not believe that she married and got children when she was only 13 years, but she could likely be 19 years.

Here is the baptizing record of the eldest one, number 7:

Kildeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Dypvåg, Klokkerbok nr. B 7 (1762-1810), Kronologisk liste 1790, side 72.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... x_side=-76

And, the parents and several of the sponsors are from Børøen
But no birth date is written, but she is probably born during January 1790.

Hey Vigdis

Thank you for your great job! This will help me with searching for my heritage in Norge!

The marriage record; the only couple on the most right on the right page;

Unfortunately; no age or birth date, but it confirms that she is from Børøen.

You should look at the sponsor's names and try to identify the correct Ingeborg Oline. Some of them are named Eynersen or Eynersdatter. Coldt it be the youngest one, thus her father was Jens Eynersen?

[gj12325]

Hey Vigdis

I think it has to be the eldest. As you pointed out, it wouldn't be normal to be married at the age of 13... I've been searching a lot in Denmark at AO and must ages for younger are about 20 and up.

But I think I've found the mariage of her parents Jens Jensen and Else Catrine Larsdatter. https://www.familysearch.org/s/recordDe ... u8TUc%253D
Do you think it could be them?

Mvh Christian

[dn01013]

search for Johan Tønsberg in DIStreff gives at least one hit. The member has registered at least parents, grand parents and great grandparents (and obviously more generations) of Johan Tønsberg

Johan Tønsberg is there registered to have been born in Arendal.

[dn21966]

From Dypvåg boka, page.480


Jens Jensen Ytre Borøya, was 1788 married in Øyestad with Else Catrine Larsdtr., (b. 1766, d. 1832. daughter of Lars Jensen Sperrevigen - Kolbjørnsvik and Ingeborg Nilsdtr.).

Lars Jensen, b. 1728, son of Jens Larsen Sperrevigen and Else Jensdtr., was officer when he in 1759 was married to Ingeborg Nilsdtr. Sperrevigen.


Jens Jensen and Else Catrines children:

a Ingeborg Oline Jensdtr., b. 1790, conf. 1805, m. 1809 with. Johan Christian Tønsberg. Their son Nils Christian, 6 year old in 1815., lives with grandfather in Sandvika. He was later Sailor, and died in Hamburg 1/7 1832, 22 year old., of cholera («Kolera Morbis»), buried the day after.

b Jens Jensen, b. 1791, conf. 1808.

c Ingeborg Maria Jensdtr., b. and d. 1792, lived for 4 months.

As you see from the last answers it is the right marriages you have found here.

It seems to be an island outside of Tvedestrand in Aust Agder (now called Borøya):

Hej Alf

Thank you for your help and advice

Mvh Christian

[gj12325]

Hej Jon

First of all: Thank for your great job!! I have some questions to what you have posted..

Ytre Borøya skal det forstås som ydre Borøya eller??

Is Sperrevigen a part of Lars Jensen's name or the place where he was born? - And what does Kolbjørnsvik mean?

And can I find all of this in norwegian churchbooks?

Mvh Christian

[dn20180]

From Dypvåg boka, page.480


Jens Jensen Ytre Borøya, was 1788 married in Øyestad with Else Catrine Larsdtr., (b. 1766, d. 1832. daughter of Lars Jensen Sperrevigen - Kolbjørnsvik and Ingeborg Nilsdtr.).

This is my family. Look up: http://www.devold-viken.net

[gj12325]

Hej Jon

I've just checked your family and it says that Ingeborg died in 1815?? Are you sure it's her? Cause that would mean it's the wrong Ingeborg... My 5xgreatgrandmother moved to Denmark in 1820..

Mvh Christian

[dn20180]

Hello Christian
If you look up my web you will find 4 persons named Ingeborg Jensdatter, all from Boroya. 3 of them we know when died but the Ingeborg Jensdatter born in 1778 I do not know when/where died.

[gj12325]

Hey Hans

But Ingeborg from 1790 wasn't she the one who married Johan Christian Tønsberg?

[dn21966]

Ytre Borøya skal det forstås som ydre Borøya eller??

Yes this is correct.

Is Sperrevigen a part of Lars Jensen's name or the place where he was born? - And what does Kolbjørnsvik mean?

Sperrevigen and Kolbjørnsvik are places close to each other on Hisøy (Arendal, Aust-Agder)
If they are used as a part of the name here, i am not sure.

And can I find all of this in norwegian churchbooks?

I checked the first four, and they was there, just follow the link from Vigdis.

If you find Ingeborg dead in 1815 it can be because Dypvågboka mention it as a possibility, their son, 6 year lives with his grandparent, with no sign of the parents.


Jon

[gj12325]

Hej Jon

The son that you are talking about, is that the son of Johan Christian Tønsberg and Ingeborg Oline Jensdatter? Cause then she didn't die. A person named Oline Tønsberg moved to Denmark in 1820 from Dybvåg where she had a child in 1821. And in the baptizism information, it said that neither of the parents were decent divorced and that the mothers name was Oline Jensen. She never remarried and in her death information she was listed as Oline Tønsberg.

Christian

[dn21966]

Johan Christian Tønsberg and Ingeborg Oline Jensdtr. had a son, Nils Christian, babt. 15. oct. 1809 Dypvåg church. I guess this is the one they refer to.

Jon

[gj12325]

But then I think that Oline from 1790 is my 5xgreatgrandmother. With her coming to Denmark in 1820, with her not being decent divorced when she had her first danish child and with a last name as Jensen, and with her coming from Dybvåg and last but not least with the last name Tønsberg when she died in 1868. It has to be her.

Christian

[Vigdis Jøsang]

Hi,

But if Christian Thomson in Denmark has found a Ingeborg Oline Tønsberg in Denmark arrived in 1820, it must be this boy's mother? That means that the information about her death in 1815 must be wrong?

Do anyone have the link to the census 1815? Or a copy? What were the names of the grandparents this boy lived by in 1815?

And, if Ingeborg Oline did not arrive Denmark before 1820, where did she live in 1815 and untill 1820?

Mvh
Vigdis

[dn21966]

The grand parent must be Jens Jensens (morfar), he lived in Sanvika, Ytre Borøya. It is written "morfar", is Else Catrine dead bef. 1815?

Jon

[Vigdis Jøsang]

Is the census 1801 lost for Dybvaag?

However I found Johan Christian Tønsberg in Arendal with his parents and his siblings in 1801. One of the sponsors for their son's baptizing was Bolette Sophie Tønsberg, and she is also on this census.

http://digitalarkivet.no/cgi-win/webcen ... &merk=1639

As you also can see, Ingeborg Oline's and Johan Christian's son got his grandfather's name.

Mvh
Vigdis

[Vigdis Jøsang]

You will find Sandvigen both on Ytre Borøen, Øyestad and Hisøy.

There is no census 1801 for these places

Vigdis

[dn21966]

I corrected it to Sandvika, Ytre Borøya.

Yes, the census for 1801, Dypvåg is missing.


Jon

[gj10026]

You will find Sandvigen both on Ytre Borøen, Øyestad and Hisøy.

There is no census 1801 for these places

Vigdis

Yes, there are more than one Sandvigen in the area.
The 1801 census for Holt, including Dybvaag and Tvede strand is totally missing.
The 1801 census for Østre Moland, Øyestad, Hisøy and Arendal exist.

[gj12325]

Hey everyone!

I've got this from a person who's also related to Oline here in Denmark:

Efternavn: Tinsborg Fornavn: Ingeborg Oline
Ankomst: 00.00.1820 Ank. fra (land): Norge
Fødeland: Norge
Tj./Oph.sted (region): Frederiksborg Amt Tj./oph.sted (sogn): Tikøb
Tj./oph.sted (art): Proprietærgård
Tj./op.sted(pr(vr): Dybvåg
Kildenummer: 1101002
Bemærkninger: Gift med Johan Tinsborg. Espergærde.

I don't know if this might help.

Christian

[gj12325]

P.S.

Bliv ikke forstyrret af, at der står Tinsborg, ved hendes død hed hun Oline Tønsberg

[gj06453]

Hi Christian, sorry you have got so many confusing leads on this, but there is no doubt that it is Ingebor Oline Jensdatter born 1790, baptized in Dypvåg 7/2-1790, daughter og Jens Jensen Borøya and Else Catrine Larsdatter, that you are looking for. She moved to Denmark in 1820, and was married to Johan Tønsberg, as documented above. Ingebor's father had to take over some major debts after his father, and he struggled his whole life to pay down these debts. He finally transferred his property in Sandvika at Borøya to Ingebor's brother Jens in 1825, and by that cleared his debts. I have Ingebor's ancestors and their biographies covering around 100 pages, going back to around year 1400, if this is of interest to you. Just send me an e-mail on: [email protected], and I can give you further information.

[5472]

Christian!

Just to finish this story:
By 1812 Johan Tønsberg har got a job as "skriverkarl" in Bergen, Hordaland. Whether Oline followed him to Bergen is unknown. In 1813 he is still married to her, but 8/12-1813 a new Niels Christian is born in Domkirken, Bergen, this time with a new mother:

Døypt År Sokn/Kyrkje Ekte/uekte Merknad
Apr 22 1814 DK u 10-126
Rolle Still./sivilst. Førenamn Etternamn Fødd dato
Barn Niels Christian Des 08
Far skriverkarl Johan Christian Tonsberg
Mor Anna Maria Olsen

And in 1816 Berent Olai is baptized in Korskirken, Bergen with the same mother - but he is still married to Oline, he is called a married man:

År Døypt Kyrkje/sokn
1816 2209 Korskirken
Rolle Stilling Førenamn Etternamn Kjønn Bustad Fødd dato Ekte/uekte
Barn Berent Olai m 0709 u
Far gift mand,skriver Johan Christian Tønsberg 20-22
Mor Anne Marie Olsen

No wonder Oline left! She had to let her parents take care of her son while she herself was working. Where she was between 1811 and 1820 is unknown. She comes to Tikøb in 1820, gives birth to a daughter Elisabeth Marie in 1821 with Peder Jensen and lives with him in Tikøb as a housekeeper until he dies between 1840 and 1845.

Johan Tønsberg and Oline must have been divorced before 1830, because 31/1-1830 Johan Christian Tønsberg is married in Domkirken, Bergen to the mother of his children Anne Marie Olsen.

Johan Christian Tønsberg kontorist Arendal 41 Anne Marie Olsen jomfr Dk 41 Jan 31 1830 DK

He dies in Bergen 26/2-1832 and is burried 3/3-1832 in Domkirken.

Anita

[gj12325]

Hey Anita

But what I don't understand is why Oline by the time she dies is still called Tønsberg.. Do you think she never heard of the divorce?

Mvh Christian

[gj06453]

It is quite common in Norway that even a divorced wife continues to use her married name.

[gj06453]

For those especially interested, I can add that the Niels Christian Tønsberg born in 1813 became a famous Norwegian publisher, as mentioned here:

[Marit Helene Kvalvik]

Jeg leser med stor interesse dette innlegget og tilhørende kommentarer. Jeg holder på å forske på akkurat denne Ingeborg Oline Jensdatter, gift Tønsberg som var født i 1790 i Dypvåg i Aust-Agder, Norge og som sannsynligvis flyttet til Danmark. Men jeg klarer ikke å finne dokumentasjonen på når hun forlot Norge og heller ikke på at hun ankom Danmark. I danske folketellinger finner jeg i 1834 separerte Oline Jensen, i 1840 enke Oline Tønsberg, i 1845 enke Oline Tønsberg, i 1850 fraskilt Oline Tørnberg og i 1860 enke Oline Jensen. I 1868 dør Oline Tønsberg. Jeg er rimelig sikker på at disse "Olinene" i Danmark er en og samme person. Men hvordan kan jeg være sikker på Oline i Danmark er samme person som "min" Ingeborg Oline Jensdatter, gift Tønsberg. Jeg har en periode fra 1811 til 1821 der jeg ikke klarer å gjøre rede for hennes bevegelser. Det må være i denne 10-årsperioden hun flytter til Danmark. Og det er denne flytte-dokumentasjonen jeg leter etter. Er det noen som kan hjelpe meg?
