Ideus Børresen was born 1862 in Biri, Norway. He was the son of Børre Knudsen and Karen Kristiansdatter. Ideus was born at Tømteneiet, but the parents lived at Sigstadpladsen later. In 1883 he emigrated to America. He went by the ship Angelo in April 1883.
I wonder if it is possible to find out something about him in America?

With a first name like Idius the man should stand out, but pickings are slim. Here might be someone of interest, birthyear off a bit, migration year off a bit in 1920 Swift county, Minnesota census:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MW1R-TXN

Idius Lien Head M 60 Norway
Antonetta Lien Wife F 59 Norway
Mons Lien Son M 36 Minnesota
Clara Lien Daughter F 32 Minnesota
Julia Lien Daughter F 29 Minnesota

Idius M. Lien in Findagrave:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/121766977/idius-m.-lien

He appears to be even less a match, but its interesting to see the many ways his name was mangled in the various record transcriptions: Edius, Edine, Idine, etc.

Edvard Børresen
(male) u Kontorist Throndhjem 1893-02-03 Emigrants from Oslo 1867-1930 (age is 23 and destination is Chicago)

Edvard Børres.
(male) g Kontorbetj. Thjem Emigrants from Trondheim 1867-1930 (trip date is 18 Jan 1893, is married, is aged 23, destination is Chicago, Illinois)

Marriage of an Edward Borresen in Chicago in 1896:
BORRESEN, EDWARD MILLER, CAROLINA 1896-08-01 251998 COOK

From the 1916-1950 Illinois death index:
BORRESEN EDWARD M/W UNK 6033033 1918-10-23 COOK CHICAGO 18-10-24
BORRESEN EDWARD M/W UNK 6002432 1937-01-22 COOK CHICAGO 37-01-23

Edward Borreson in Chicago in 1900 census b April 1869 migrated 1892:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MS3R-KPL

Edward Borreson in Chicago b 25 April 1871 in Oslo d 25 Jan 1937:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2MK-ZNSJ

The Edward Borreson who died in 1918 in Chicago was the son of Edward Borreson b 1869-1871:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N73D-1V6

Edvord Børresen in 1875 as born in Moss 1869 census Norway:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01052007002738

Edvardt Børresen in 1885 as born in Kristiania 1867 census Norway:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/census/person/pf01053252007362

Ed Borreson is informant on the d.c. for a brother Bert Borreson who dies 1915 in Chicago:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2M7-HJF4

I speculate that the two Edvord / Edvardt Børresen leaving from Trondheim are the same man with some ripples. There appears to be no other Edward Borreson candidates leaving Norway for America who could be the 33 year Edw Burrison in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1895. I speculate that the name Idius was possibly Americanized to Edward, since there really isn't an English equivalent of that name. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it until something better comes along!
