Tellef Knudsen and Gunhild Andersdatter lived at Bjerbæk when Anna Marie Tellefsdatter was born and baptized May 10.
At the census 1865 your gr. gr. grandparents live on the same farm as Tellef and his first wife. See here
If you look up Gunhild Andersdatter in the 1865 census you will find her with her parents and siblings at the Lindtvedt farm. See here
Gunnilds baptismal record is #71
Tellef and Gunhild married Dec 15 1869, see #23

Thank you very much for this information. Would you happen to know how I can find out what happened to my Grandmother Anna Marie Knudsen's siblings and half siblings? Are there census records or marriage records to find this out?

so is his mother, two of the brothers and the sister Anna Marie.

Marriage records would be kept in the parish church books. The church records for Øyestad, Aust-Agder are available for your use - online at the Digitalarkivet website OR on microfilm from your nearest LDS Family History Center.

There are also the 1865, 1875 and 1900 Norwegian censuses - of those three only the 1875 census is not complete in the online databases BUT it can still be used on microfilm from your nearest LDS Family History Center.

The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005.

The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].

Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -
