Seljord Bygdebok, Telemark, Tov Andersson

Could someone do a lookup for me? In my family tree of ancestors from Seljord and Bø according to the information someone sent me from the Seljord Bygdeboks, there is a Tov Andersson who got a piece of the Toe (To or Tou) farm in 1811 and and in 1826 he got the rest. He died in 1850 and his widow emigrated the year after. What is the name of the widow, is it shown in the Bygdebok?. They supposedly had 3 children, Edel (born 1816?) married to Gunnar Jørgenson, Gunhild married to Kjetil Eivindson, Kivle, and Åste (born 1821?) married to Gudmund Egilson, Manheim.
My problem is that the only information I can find on a Gunhild Tovsdr married to Kjetle Eivindsen from Kivle is for a Gunhild born to Tov Andersen and Aslaug Oystensdr. This Gunhild was born in 1734. So the time frame is not even right.
The information I have found on the first Tov only lists Edel and Aste as his children and he is married to Egeliev Steinersdr.
My contact in Norway has returned the books to the library and no longer has access to them to verify the information he sent to me. And since these church books are not yet online, I have not been able to verify the above information to any degree.
I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
