The first marriage of my great-great-grandmother Bertha Gurine Osmundsdatter was to Tollak Tollaksen son of Tollak Tollaksen in 1845

I hope to find his birth, baptism, and/or confirmation. Deciphering the scrawl in parish registers is a problem for me, especially occupations and place names.
I think knowing his father's occupation (illegible) would be helpful.
Tollak and Bertha had two children in Stavanger, then emigrated to America:

I have ruled out:
(1) Tollach Nicolai Tollachsen, because he married Gitlaug Tonnesdatter in 1850.
1825 Feb 17, birth, 1825 Mar 17, baptism, Tollach Nicolai Tollachsen https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8761/42700/88 Egersund parish register, #9,
1850 Jul 19, marriage, https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/6302/78846/15 Heskestad (Lund) local parish register, #8
(2) Tollak Loug Tollaksen, because he married in 1850 INGEBORG SOFIE NILSDTR. (1822-1850) and in 1854 ANNE MARTINE LARSDTR. (1833-)
1823 Mar 10, birth, 1823 Mar 16, baptism, Tollak Loug Tollaksen
https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/15867/61 Sokndal parish register, #11
