Hi
I am looking for info on Laurits Rudolf Larsen born abt 1836 in Norway, (parents Torkild & Mary)
Laurits wife Anne Lovise Hansen born 1842, married abt 1871 (Annes parents Hans Christiansen & Helene Olsdr)
Laurits & Annes children born in Oslo Akershus, Norway:
Rudolf Henrik born 1867
Torkild born 1870
Helene Marie born 1872
Hans born 1875
I think their next child was born in Wellington New Zealand in 1879, so they travelled between 1875-79 and seem to settle in Wellington, Electoral rolls show Laurits as a Carpenter and possibly had brothers Ole and Lars.
any info would be appreciated, especially when they travelled.

Lauritz Rudolf Larsen and Anne Lovise Hansen were married Oct 8 1871, #10.

Both Rudolf and Torkild Henrik must have been born out of wedlock if their birthyears are correct.
