You have above in this thread the fact that he (Carl Vilhelmsen) and his wife had twin sons in Nannestad, Akershus in 1856. So you have a location in Norway to search for other records. The parish records would be a good place for you to start.
Possible other children born to the same couple could have other information details in their birth/baptismal records.
A marriage record between Carl Vilhemsen and his bride would give information about each of their ages at the time of that event, fathers and their previous place of residence.
It is all done one step at a time - just like genealogy research in any other part of the world. Research is research. |

Those 1856 births are not that long before the 1865 Norwegian census. Did you look for "Carl Vilhelmsen" and his family in that census? It records at least approximate year of birth and place of birth.
I quickly looked in the 1865 census keeping in mind possible spelling variations and easily found -

(Remember that % is the database wildcard for searching in the NHCD census databases.)

Ane Maria Christophersdatter was born Dec 19 1822, see #2. Her parents were Christopher Nielsen (as in the marriage record) and Marit Pedersdatter.
Carl Marthin was born out of wedlock April 7 1824, see #88. His mother was Berthe Marie Haagensdatter from Schultzehaugen and his father was sailor Villum Bernthsen (Vilhelm Berntsen - as in the marriage record).

The real joy of this hobby is being able to do it yourself. You can! There are a number of excellent materials available online for your study and the number of Norwegian resources available online for research increases almost daily. Study, practice, enjoy!
Ancestors From Norway articles (http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/articles.html)
Tips on Using Digitalarkivet (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/DigitalArchives.html)
Norwegian census abbreviations (http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/census_abbreviations.html)

Norwegian censuses of 1910, 1900,1875 (only partially online), 1865 and 1801 are online as searchable databases. Two websites with different search functions and strengths can be used.

The detail available in the extensive parish church records is a marvelous gift from Norway. The Digitalarkivet web site has been adding scanned images of the original Norwegian parish church records for anyone with Internet access since November 2005. To be able to use the parish records you must first know WHERE in Norway you want to search for this documentation.
The Digitalarkivet web site - http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldingar
An English option is available by clicking on that word from either the left hand column or the blue link bar along the bottom of the homepage.
The scanned images are available from the homepage link "Skanna kyrkjebøker" [Norwegian version]/"Digitised parish records" [English version] which is listed along the left hand column and from the blue banner of links along the top section of the homepage.
When you click on that link another page will present a short list of choices - choose "Read the digitized parish registers"[English version]/"Lesa skanna kykrebøker" [Norwegian version].
After you've clicked on that link and a new main page has presented on the screen be sure and read the instructions that are available from the Digitalarkivet for navigating the scanned records. The instructions are available in Bokmål (official Norwegian), Nyorsk (Norwegian), Davvisámegiella (Saami), and English.
Recommended basic reading are the "Startsiden" [Norwegian version]/"Main page" [English version], "Brukerveiledning" [Norwegian version]/"User's guide" [English version] and "Om tjenesten" [Norwegian version]/"About this service" [English version].
Good information about translating the formats of Norwegian parish church records during various time periods, many of the basic terms used and understanding how to use the information should be studied at this web site -
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~norway/na20.html
Norway has a tradition of publishing history and genealogy books for many rural districts of the country called 'bygdebøker'. You might be lucky enough to have had ancestors from one of the areas which has one or more good 'bygdebøker' published about it.
Learn about 'bygdebøker' (http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~norway/bygdebok.html)
Bygdebøker and Ættarbøker can be helpful but are definitely secondary sources of information -- any research done in them should be verified in the primary sources such as the parish church records.
