Hello.
According to the 1900 Census his father was
Julius Halvorsen b. 1869. It seems he was a dockworker at a repair shop ...."Sjauer paa et Mekanisk Verksted"
Hilda Halvorsen b. 1871 was his wife " Hustru"
Toralf Halvorsen Søn born in 1895
Ragnhild Halvorsen Datter born in 1898
Sigrid Halvorsen Datter born ??
Here is the link to the Census Page showing more information.1900 Census for Julius and Hilda Halvorsen Family
