Looking for Norwegian census, baptism, emigrant records for Lena BLICKSTAD to prove name of parents. Any and all help welcome.

Original family name may be BLIKSTAD (alternate spellings Blickstad or Blix seen on US marriage records in a US Lutheran church in Chicago Illinois USA, and son's Social Security application records).

Following data from marriage certificate (Chicago Cook IL) and Bethania Lutheran church marriage recorded Feb 1880 (married to the William S. TUCKER of previous posting):
Lena BLICKSTAD, age 24

Following data derived from US 1900 census:
Lena TUCKER
DOB Sept 1859 (age 42), 20 years married
YOE 1871 (29 years ago) Trondheim NO

Following names data from son's SS-5 application:
Napolina BLIX
William Sievert TUCKER

Digitalarkivet databases yielded the following "matching" person, if an age discrepancy of 2 years can be discounted):

From: Norway 1865 census Throndhjem

["Instrumentmager Blikstad" may be the married person Napoleon Blikstad in same Trondhjem census?]
