They were registered on August 28th, 1903 - departing for Hull in England on the Wilson Line ship S/S Angelo. Unfortunatley, the information about the transatlantic line was not included when the records were transcribed, so you need to check that in the original source. The records are filmed. In the emigration records they are named Ellefsbakkene. Their home was at Søndre Aurdal. Below are links to the Kristiania Police record, and the 1900 census showing your family.
