Hi,
a big  possibility in the list of Emigrants from Oslo 1867-1930:
Emigration on April 14th, 1869:
Hans Olsen, married, born 1845, residence Bærums Værk, Destination Kvebek. (i.e. Quebec, Canada)
Else Børresdatter, married, born 1850, residence Bærums Værk, destination Kvebek
Click here for the records.
Burson is most likely an american variant of Børresdatter. It means that her father's first name was Børre.
Bærums (Jern)Værk was a major iron mill in Bærum at that time, and Bærums Værk became the name of the local area. The municipality Bærum was at that time a part of Asker, in Akershus county. Located just west of Oslo.

Census-1865 for Norway is also available online.
Searching for "Hans Ols*" born 1843-1845, and living in Asker municipality, gives you 3 possibilities.
Hans Olsen, servant, age 21, born Asker
Hans Olsen, helping mother (widow) with farmwork, age 23, born Asker.
Hans Olsen, helping his father, age 23, born Asker.
Age 21 would indicate born ca 1845, age 23 would be born ca 1843 (Age should be calculated from 1866).
One of the 3 persons above are most likely your Hans!
Maybe the one age=21? Since birthyear also said 1845 in emigration protocols.
Unfortunately, he is not living with his parents in the census...

And this must be Elise Børresdatter in the same census.
Her parents are Børre Christofersen (age 72, born Asker), and Anne Marie Andersen (age 50, born Asker). Børre is a watchman at Bærums Værk (the iron mill).

The Concordia left Christiania on April 18 and arrived in Quebec on May 19. The ship was held in quarantine. A passenger list of the male passengers from a Norwegian newspaper is on this site:

Note Hans Olsen and Peder Borresen from Bærums Værk, you can see a scan of this list. |

This Peder Børresen must be Else's brother.
Else's mother Marie (Anne Marie Andersen), her brother Peder and her twin siblings Bernt & Birgitte (Bergitte) are all on the ship Concordia (together with Hans & Else), going to Quebec in April 1869. Em. records

Maybe they got some kind of discount if they signed the paper...?
Here is the full translation:
(...)
føre mange af vore Landsmænd, som ikke ere i den
Stilling, at Norge kan give dem Livsophold. Lige-
ledes hvad begge Styrmændene og det øvrige Mand-
skap angaar, saa kan vi sige, at det var meget hygge-
lige og pene Folk, saa at vi ogsaa til dem vil frem-
bære vor forbindtligste Tak for deres Beredvillighed
og hjælpsomhed imod os, saa at vi, dersom Skibets
Fører vil gaa med Emigranter næste Aar, vil bede
Enhver, som vil udvandre, at reise med Capt. Chr.
Christiansen. Vi afreiste fra Næsodden pr. Christiania
den 18de April og ankrede i Quebek om Aftenen den
19de Mai.
Quebek den 19de Mai 1869.
(...)
for a lot of our fellow citizens, who are not in the
position, that Norway can give them sufficient subsistence. Like-
wise, with regards to the two mate's and the rest of
the crew, we can tell, that they were very nice and friendly
people, so that we also for them want to express our
most welcome Thank You for their willingness
and helpfulness towards us, so that we, if the Ship's
Captain want to go with Emigrants next year, will ask
everyone, who wants to Emigrate, to go with Capt. Chr.
Christiansen. We left from Næsodden in Christiania
the 18th of April og anchored in Quebec in the Afternoon on
the 19th of May.
Quebec, 19th of May 1869.
