Well the arrival of Thea Egeland into the US was not an easy find, so I located the lady next to her on the Stavanger emmigrant list, Laura Jonasen. Once she was found, the lady next to her on the passenger list was to my eyes Thea Egeland but to the transcriber she was.
Name: Theo Igeland
Arrival Date: 15 May 1904
Birth Year: abt 1880
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/Race/Nationality: Scottish (Scotish)
Port of Departure: Christianssand, Norway
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: United States

Using the information that Jens provided I located the birth record for Thea Egeland. I was interested in seeing who her father was. His name is Thorkil Endresen Egeland. This matches up well with the information from the Naruralizatin Record for Even Tollefsen Bye. Thus I think that your Thea Egeland was actually married to Even Bye. It may be difficult to track what happens with their daughter Margaret.

It turns out the Ed Monsen comes from the same area as does Anna. The father of Ed Monsen is
Martin Monsen
Birth 1 MAY 1855 in Folkvord, Høyland, Rogaland
Death 14 JUN 1947 in Sandnes, , Rogaland, Norway
and his mother is
Elen Ellingsdatter Høyland
Birth 20 MAY 1851 in Høyland, Haa, Rogaland
Death 30 NOV 1893 in Sandnes, , Rogaland, Norway
At least there are several Family Tree's on Ancestry.com that have that listing. |

Also I can find an Anna Egeland but she married an Ed Monsen. Also her birth year is off by a few years. Perhaps you can check the data you have and see if it might match these people. Mr. Monsen is here called Benham but in the 1930 US Census he is called Edward.
Name: Anna R Monsen
[Anna R Egland]
Birth Year: abt 1889
Birth Place: Norway
Gender: Female
Race: White
Marital Status: Married
Census Date: 1 Jan 1925
Residence state: Iowa
Residence County: Winnebago
Locality: Grant
Relation to Head: Wife
Mother: Martha T Odinsen
Mother's Birthplace: Norway
Father: Torkal Egland
Father's Birthplace: Norway
Marriage Place: Norway
Spouse Name: Benham C A Monsen
That is the right person,because the father Torkel Egeland is corrct and,she called Amanda or mrs Ed Monsen |

Thea's father was named Torkel Endresen Egeland that is correct and mother is Martha Taletta asserdatter. |
