The announcement actually says 75 years old, but the 5 looks a little too much like a 6 for the OCR. Here is the corresponding entry in the church book:

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/3500/135

The deceased was living at Bækkelaget/Bekkelaget, located 3-4 kms South East of central Oslo. In 1910 the family lived in Vognmandsgate, located quite centrally in Oslo, and in the 1910 census the possible widow lived at Arbeidergaten, also towards central Oslo:

Looking at the Tree from Family Search (link posted by Tore), it seems that most of it is quite correct. However I did come across this record form Ancestry.com for the marriage of Lars Jørgen Olsen and Anne Helene Andreasdatter. It does have the same marriage date as the Tree but has a different father than the Tree. The Tree gives the father as Anders Gulbrandsen. The Ancestry.com record gives the father as Andreas Nielsen.

Anne Helene Andreasdatter
in the Norway, Select Marriages, 1660-1926
Name: Anne Helene Andreasdatter
[Anne Helene Nielsen]
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Birth Date: 1837
Marriage Date: 12 jan 1858
Marriage Place: Aker, Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Father: Andreas Nielsen
Spouse: Lars Jorgen Olsen
FHL Film Number: 1259721
Reference ID: item 2 p356

I think that this is the original record.

#2

The original record does show the father as Andreas Nielsen. It is of course possible that the marriage record is wrong.


This is likely the Anne Helene that the Tree owner has found and used. She is number 36 and her twin sister Birthe Kierstine is number 35. Born in Spydeberg.

#35 & 36

Posts below by Jackie show that the marriage record is correct and that at least for the parents of Anne Helene the Tree from Family Search is incorrect.

Tore's post for Helene Olsdatter in 1910 has a birth date of 15 April 1835 which doesn't match the Spydeberg twins of 19 Jan 1835. Apparently the connection was made on the father's name of Anders Gulbransen?

I suspect that the Helene Olsen living in Arbeidergaten in the 1910 census was not the widow of the Lars Jørgen Olsen who died in December of that year, and who had been living at Bækkelaget, as Arbeidergaten doesn't run through Bekkelaget.

This is probably the baptism record for Sigrid. Birth year matches the Segredd found in 1891 Census posted by Tore but not the 1867 for Sigurd in the Tree from Family Search.

Sigrid Helene Olsen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Sigrid Helene Olsen
Gender: Female
Baptism Date: 11 des 1881 (11 Dec 1881)
Baptism Place: Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Father: Lars Jorgen Olsen
Mother: Anne Helene Langaare
FHL Film Number: 1282516
Reference ID: v3 p72 #100

And maybe Ludvig

Ludvig Halvard Lars Jorgensen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Ludvig Halvard Lars Jorgensen
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 2 mai 1866 (2 May 1866)
Baptism Date: 17 jun 1866
Baptism Place: Gronland Menighet, Oslo, Akershus, Norway
Father: Lars Jorgen Olsen
Mother: Anne Helene Olsen
FHL Film Number: 255745
Reference ID: 2:13KNRW9

And likely the family in the 1875 Census. Same address as in the 1900 Census. Vognmandsgade 13

1875

Lars and Helene and three children in 1885 Census at same address.

1885

It would be best for Norwegian first language folks to translate but I think it says he died at Ullevaal (which is a hospital, I believe) and that he was fraskilt (that is divorced).

Here is his death notice:
https://www.nb.no/items/77ee263d7c3d68786a0158fd697278e7?page=3&searchText=%22bryggearbeider%20Nils%20Larsen%22

It says he died in an accident.



We dont have any relatives left that speak Norweigan, Thanks for this information, this site is amazing.



I didn't expect you to read the Norwegian. I'm hoping some of the Norwegian language folks here on NorwayHeritage will take it up and translate. Ulykke means accident

It didn't say where his accident occured or what type of accident it was. Most often on ship, you fall from a height into the water and drown, in effect an accident.

None of these records call him Nils Jorgen either, but his date of death is 2 Dec 1920 which matches the familysearch database Tore posted a link to.

Both of the records describe him as "bryggearbeider" which Google translates as "stevedore."

Where did you get the story that he was a captain or ship owner?




A cousin of mine that I just met had that information that his father, Nils Jorgen Larsen's son, had told him before he had passed

Niels Jørgen in 1859 in Grønland, Lars is listed as Matros


#252

Anne Lovise in 1861 in Grønland Lars is listed as Matros.

#57

In 1864 baptism record for Ole, Lars again listed as Matros

#5

Ludvig Halvard in 1866 also in Grønland and Lars as Matros.

#158

Magda Helene in 1869, New church Oslo domkirke same occupation Matros.

#91

Magnus Ragnar 1875, Oslo Domkirke, occupation is Tjener, gives marriage year as 1858.

#25

Sigrid Helene, born in 1881, address is Vognmandsgade 13, Lars is listed again as Tjener and mother's name is listed as Anne Helene f Langaare.

#100

For Sigrid Helene there is an interesting comment on the far right. Looks to me as if Sigrid Helene was perhaps baptized at home by the mid-wife and the mothers maternal sisters?

Maybe "hjemme døpt af jordesmoder og moders sosterene"

Anne Helene was recorded as Anne Marie at her baptism but corrected to Anne Helene at her confirmation. So the attribution to the person from Spydeberg is incorrect!
