My g-g-grandfather OLE CHRISTOFFERSEN came to NZ on the 1872 Hovding voyage with his second wife KARINE ENGEBRETSEN and two children by his first marriage AXEL and GUNDA. I can find no record from IGI of Ole and Karine's marriage, nor of the death of his first wife MAREN GUDMENSEN. They lived in the Hedmark area; Ole was born in Odalen in 1830 and Karine in Hakadalen in 1849. Maren I think was born in Brandvald in 1832. Axel and Maren (first wife) also had two more daughters and one of them, OLINE, supposedly came out on the second Hovding voyage, but I cannot find her on the passenger list. She would have only been 7 or 8, so had to travel with someone. Any help with either of these mysteries would be greatly appreciated.
