Since no farms are mentioned in the wedding record its diff. to find out where they came from if not a familytree appears.
The solution is probably in "Sigdal og Eggedal Gard og slekt" volume 6-10, not online, only for sale by the municipality, new edition published 2007 contains 12 000 names and every farm in Sigdal and Eggedal.

I was in Luck
And you have family in Montana, USA.
Ingeborg Gundersdatters parents; Gunder Aslesen and Ingeborg Embretsdatter.
Ingeborg was born on farm Grønhovd Mellom (Central Grønhovd) and Søren was born on Tjernaas, both mentioned on # ix, see here

When Gunnil Sørensdatter was bap. 1799, see page 3, one of the godfathers was Anders Kienaas/Tjernaas.

Kiennaas/Tjernaas means a ridge with small lakes.

Thank you very much for the further information. It's getting nearer to our current times (and to living people).

Perhaps her mother's death and father's remarriage contributed to Nicoline's decision to emigrate to NZ. There would not be much reason to stay behind in Norway, and this provides a possible explanation for emigration.
When she arrived in New Zealand she married a much older man and had a son (Gustav Lowe). This man was unfortunately committed to a mental hospital and died there years later. Meanwhile, she and baby Gustav lived with another man (A.B. Newman) and had 8 further children including my grandfather. Newman was a farmer who married her 2 years before she died of typhoid in Gisborne Hospital aged 40. He described her as "my adored Nicoline".

Hello Felicity, i wonder whether Gustav Lowe the oldest son of Nicoline is my great grandfather who lived and died in Opotiki. My Nana was Edith Lowe and second youngest daugther of 7 children.

You are welcome
I have searced after Marthe Johannesdatter, Maren Kristine Nicolaisdatters mother, without any luck, but there are some candidates.
Who were her parents?.
We know that her father was Johannes (unknown lastname)

Maren Kristine Nicolaisdatter was born 1821 on Hære-eie, a sub farm under Hære and bap. in Bakke church Skotselv.

She was still on Hære when she was confirmated Oct. 16. 1836 #15

The confirmation was taken place in the main church in Eiker, Haug church in Hokksund from 1151.
Last column tells that she was vaccinated (against smallpox) 1821 by Erik Andersen.

Eiker has no Bygdebook.
A probateregister, not online yet, will probably tell us.
