To finally close this candidate "Ole Ambrosius Jacobsen"; he can be found in census-1900 for Tromsų. Still married to Julie.
So he is not your Ole.

Hi Norma,
Thanks for your reply.
That was my curiosity because if you had generated that date from your own or others research online, it might have been a redundant recording of the same person, quoting the same source. But since it's from your own family record, from a record not accessible to the rest of the world, its not likely to have been repeated in that fashion. So that's a good thing!
It's really none of my business but I'm also curious as the Ole Jakobsen in the aforementioned database means his death occured in Durban which is in South Africa, I believe, and you are in UK how, when did your family migrate from one place to the other?
Jan Peter has also just mentioned the other point about Ole Ambrosius. He may or may not be the man in Durban. It happens in a lot of research that people simplify information, so rather than saying they came "from a small farm in a parish neighboring Tromsų", it's much quicker to say "Tromsų" And as Jan Peter has said if he were 16 before the census taking date and gone, he may not even be one of the 7 Ole Jakobsens he found.
It might be helpful for you to get more information on Ole as he was living his life. I'm not experienced with South Africa records, there are several databases of St. Olaf in Durban church records at the Norwegian Digital archives, but if the family came to UK they may be in census or other records there.
Is there any additional family information in the Bible? Lots of Bibles come with pages for baby birth / baptism, marriages, and funerals, which folks fill in.
You need as much information you can gather on your Ole to accept or eliminate any Ole Jakobsen found in Norway.
Good Luck,
Jackie M.

Thank you Jan Peter, I guess I have a lot of work ahead with a little help from the international community?! I agree, Ole Ambrosius is not "my" Ole.

Hi again Jackie, my family is South Africa based, my husband & I have only been in the UK for the past 11 years. Thank you for reminding me about St Olaf's Church. Though my grandparents were married in the Wesleyan Church, it is quite possible that Ole might have attended St Olaf's. My search continues.
