Yes, it's her!

It's a baby boy, born October 1st, 1911.
Notes says the child died on October 5th, only 5 days old.

Father is unmarried worker - fisherman Peder Haftorsen from Eidsfjorden, born 1873.
The Priest was informed about this illegitimate child by Margrethe herself. It also says it's her 2nd illegitimate child.

About Oscar's real father:
Wilhelm Petersen b. 1862 in Olderfjord was a widower in 1907, according to Oscar's christening record.

Census-1900

His wife is Johanna Johansdtr, born 1859 in Gimsøy.
They have two foster childs:
Alfred Andreassen, born 1889 in Vaagan.
Helga Olsen, born 1886 in Borge Lofoten
Their lastnames indicates that Alfred's father is a man with a first name of Andreas, and Helga's father is a man named Ole. The two children might be family-related, but they can also be "normal" foster children, without any "blood relation" to Wilhelm or Johanna.

But then, the last two names on the farm in 1900 are interesting. They are Wilhelm Petersen's parents!
Peter Angel Mathiassen, born 1822 & Oline Olsen, born 1821.

Here is his chr record (#27):
Wilhelm Olavus Petersen
Birth: 07 Mar 1862, Chr 03 Aug 1862, Gimsøy in Vaagan, Nordland, Norway
Parents: Peter Angell Mathiassen & Oline Marie Olsdr, residence: Olderfjord farm in Gimsøy
Source: Nordland county, Gimsøy in Vågan, Parish register copy nr. 876C01 (1852-1886), Birth and baptism records 1862, page 42.

An older sister (#33):
Petra Olea Johanne Petersdatter
Birth: 12 Jul 1860, Chr 16 SEP 1860, Gimsøy in Vaagan, Nordland, Norway
Parents: Petter Angel Matiassen & Oline Olsdr, residence: Olderfjord farm in Gimsøy
Source: Nordland county, Gimsøy in Vågan, Parish register copy nr. 876C01 (1852-1886), Birth and baptism records 1860, page 34.

Census-1865
Johanna Andreasdatter (90) could be the mother of either Peter A. Mathiasen or Olina Olsdatter.

Petra is a widow in 1910.

Daughter Marie Karlotte, born 13 SEP 1900, died 12 DEC 1985.
Buried at Sydalen, Vågan, Nordland.


Her family name was Robertsen in 1910, so she must have married a man named Hansen.

Hi Sharon,
not everything is online. To find Marie's husband is a challenge, but something you could atleast give a try.

She is born in 1900, and it's possible she got married in her 20's?
Where she married is unknown, but people didn't move far in those days, so chances are that she married in one of these parish'es: Borge, Gimsøy or Vågan. All in Nordland county.

You can scan through the marriage records from those churches here, and see if you find her. I would start with the records from 1918-1930's...
Marie could possibly be listed with a lastname of Robertsen.

Hi Sharon,
I don't think it's your Alfred Johansen Hauan.
Both lastname and birthdate is wrong. Your Alfred is born January 18th, 1880. I believe his headstone would read Alfred Hauan.
