I know that my Grandfather Tormod Larsen Landed in Boston November 1913 on the Franconia. He sailed from Oslo that October. Would he have taken a feeder ship to England or would he have left from Oslo on the Franconia. Dona

Hello Dona
He would have gone via England, so you are right in assuming that he traveled on a feeder ship from Norway. You wight find the name of the feeder in the Norwegian emigration registers (Police lists). They are online for Oslo at the Digitalarkivet.
