Jens Larsen
Birth: 30 APR 1845, Sannidal, Telemark, Norway
Christening: 20 JUL 1845, Sannidal, Telemark, Norway
Parents: Lars Knudsen & Kirsten Jensdatter
link 1 link 2
Sannidal is now a part of Kragerø municipality.

Possible siblings to Jens:
Maren Kirstine Larsen, Christening: 24 JUL 1836 Sannidal, Telemark, Norway link
Knud Larsen, Christening: 04 MAR 1838 Sannidal, Telemark, Norway link
Karen Marie Larsen, Christening: 04 OCT 1840 Sannidal, Telemark, Norway link
Lars Christian Larsen, Christening: 04 MAY 1849 Sannidal, Telemark, Norway link

Bjelkehugger
bjelke is a rafter or joist (balk, beam)
hugger is a cutter

So Lars Knudsen was a rafter/joist maker, probably made of wood.
