Can anyone help me determine the birth/baptism of Hans Hansen Ramstad from Drøbak? I have hit a brick wall. I have pieced together some ideas from my own research and clues contributed by others tracing the Sundbye family who just happened to marry into my Hans Hansen Ramstad family.

Clues :

Hans Hansen Ramstad was married Dec 27 1801, see #2
note that Sergiant Sundbye was one of the witnesses.
According to the 1801 census Hans Hansen was then 21 years old.
Olaug Andersdatter was 22 years old in 1801 and her baptismal record is most likely #5
she was a twin, was baptized Febr 14 1779 and her parents were Anders Nielsen and Abelone Larsdatter. (contributor, Eibache).
1807 census for Hans Hansen Ramstad in Fredrikstad
--Vegh. Tamb. Hans Ramstad from Drobak, 28 years old, lived there 10 1/3 years, Skogaer
med Kone Olove Anders Dtr. thune S. 30, lived there 8 years
pige Gunild Marie born in Fredrikstad 1/2 year old.
Other children:
Petroe Annes (Sundbye) father Hans Hansen in 1801 is here (contributor, Eibache)
Anne Helene Hansdatter, b. bet. 1802 and Jan. 16 1803 in Fredrikstad
Anders Hansen b. abt. 1804 in Fredrikstad
Gunild Marie b. 1806 in Fredrikstad
Inger Marie b. 22 June 1810 in Fredrikstad
Hans Jorgen Hansen b. 30 Oct. 1815 in Fredrikstad
Anne Grethe Hansdatter Ramstad b. 31 Dec. 1818 in Fredrikstad

Problem: I thought Drøbak was in Akershus and I have tried looking up a baptismal record for Hans Hansen Ramstad born about 1779 in the Norwegian digitized parish registers available at the Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar but have had not luck.

What parishes might I try to find a baptismal record?
Is there a Ramstad farm in/near Drøbak in Akershus? Would that have been the farm name Hans Hansen used in the 1801 census when he was in Fredrikstad?
Any hints on getting further back with Hans Hansen Ramstad's ancestors?

Thank you!

Hi From the LDS site. Drøbak and Frogn were separated from Ås clerical district in 1823. See Ås clerical district for earlier records.

Yes it was, Drøbak sokn was a sub parish under Ås so the early church books is because of that placed under Ås

Hard to find the birth record for Hans Hansen Ramstad, he was born on another farm, so in this case Ramstad will be a blind track

Ramstad are located to Spydeberg, north/west in Østfold county and a Ole Hansen, Bonde og Dragon, Farmer and Horse soldier trained to fight on foot owns Ramstad.
A possible brother?

Also two Ramstad farms are located to Tune sub parish in Sarpsborg parish, Østfold county in 1801, but it seems to me like the owners of these farms are no relatives to Hans Hansen.

Tambur means a drummer , Hans Hansen Ramstad was a drummer in Nordefjeldske Regiment at Fredrikstad Fortress in 1801
