Seeking help please with above. In 1910 Norwegian census Edith (b 24/12/1900) and Ervin (b 4/12/1903) both born Kristiania are listed as children of Carl Johan Emanuel Arnesen & Barbra Gunhild Jorgensen. Family residing at Akersbakken 30, Kristiania.

I also found on Gravminner death records for Edith Wencke Waaroe (death 24/4/1980) and Karl Kristian Waaroe (death 16/12/1979) both buried Var Freslers gravlund, Oslo.

Ancestry also has passenger lists for a Wencke Waaroe and Karl Waaroe (various spellings) into New York, San Francisco and Boston at various times, although I cannot access full details.

Help please in finding a marriage which would confirm link of Edith Wencke Arnesen to Karl Kristian Waaroe.

Also to find any other details of Edith's brother Ervin Reidar of whom I can find no further trace.

When Edith Wencke was born, the family were living in Bjergstien 8, see #7. Her father was then a gardener.

When Reidar Erwin was born they were living at Brageveien 1, see #189.

There were a number of different church congregations in Oslo. Which ones have you already checked in the available parish records for marriages, engagements, reading of the banns? What years were already checked?

I think I found them.

I searched unsuccessfully in Garnisonmenigheten; Fageborg; Frogner; and Oslo Domkirchen Var Fresner

The baptisms kindly supplied by Eibache are in Gamle Aker. Sure enough, I found them under Karl Kristian Olsen Waaro and Edith Wencke Arnesen, record #44 on Page 95 of the 1920/1928 series for this parish. I guess the two dates of 9th June and 13th June 1927 refer to the reading of banns ?? But no firm date for the wedding itself - how do I find this ??

Can anyone clarify meaning of Waaro ??

And did not find any reference to Reidar in any of these records.

Another record shows the wedding to have taken place July 7. See #44.
Here is also additional info of possible interest.

The baptismal record for Karl Kristian Olsen is #12.
His parents were living on Vaarø, and it is noted that he was allowed to use Waarøe as a family name in Nov 1927.
His father was a farmer and pilot.
Karl, his parents and siblings in 1900.

Eibache, can you please clarify where is Vaaro. I found a place in Southern Denmark on google.

Eibach, thanks for this. I can understand their birth, baptism and confirmation dates. But what does "vacc" mean ??

I understood Karl is a "strymand" - = ships mate ??? And on a specific vessel ??

What is Edith's job please - shop assistant ??

Waarø = Våre on maps of today. - an island east of Lindesnes peninsula, the southernmost point of Norway.
I live in Korshavn, west of Lindesnes. Last summer we did a boat trip with our small boat (14 feet) through the Spangereid channel and out to Våre, Very nice!

Vacc means vaccination (smallpox, I think). Styrmann = chief mate, kontordame = clerical worker, typist
