I wonder if Tonsen is a dead end, if it was a name he chose for reasons we do not know.
We have Hans Jørgen with parents Joseph and Christina (Kristine-Kirstine)

I have only recently found a Ship arriving in Australia in Sydney, NSW, Australia on 2nd July, 1874 from "the South Seas Islands" - name of ship is the Duke of Edinburgh - there was an Able Seaman by the name of "Nils M Thonsen" aged 26 (therefore birth abt 1848) from Norway on board this ship. The year fits with about when my Hans Tonsen would have met up with his common law Wife, Elizabeth in Newcastle, NSW, Australia (abt 1874 or 1875, since their first child's birth is registered as Feb 1876
Also, my "Hans Tonsen" was referred to as "Nils Hans Joseph Tonsen" as the father named in the marriage certificate of his first born son, "Neils Has Josephson Tonsen" who married Annie Nelson in Newcastle, NSW, Australia in 1907..
So I am now thinking perhaps the name we should be looking for is NILS. One of the sons born to my Hans Tonsen was named Thomas Martin Tonsen ???, So possibly the seaman who arrived in 1874 was Nils Martin Tonsen - the records clerks in those days spelled names the way they sounded, not necessarily who they should have been spelled.
I can find no further record of the Nils M Thonsen who arrived in Syndey in July 1874 - if he absconded from the ship at that time, he may have changed his name to Hans ?? |

This sounds promising, especially since I found the maritime record of the ship "Duke of Edinburgh" arriving in Australia in 1874 from the South Seas Islands with a "Nils M Thomsen" aged (supposedly 26) as an Able Seaman as part of the crew - this fits with the timing of my Hans Tonsen working on the Dredge "Sarah" in Newcastle Harbour in 1875
Having a father by the name of Josef Thomassen fits with all of the names of the children in his family. With a mother having the last name Nilsdatter would also fit.
I can't find any other record of the name Trolsianne or Trolseana in Nordic names - could it be a version of Kristiane or Christiana ?? |

So Trolsianne is also a Kristine! Woohoo!
Wasn't there an online version of a bygdebok for Skudenes? |

Yes, but not the easiest to use.
http://www.slektsforumkarmoy.no/b-bok/gardsliste.html
However if you combine it with the Family Tree from above you can wind your way through the farms to Åkra Brn number 38 to Josef Tommassen and Trulsiane Kristine Nilsdatter and family on page 42 of section on Åkra. Nils is listed as a child but no further info is given.

Sønn av Tomas Kristoffersen og Bodel Johannesdatter ”Forrige bruker
Gift i 1849 med Trulsiane Kristine Nilsdatter, født 1831, død 1908
Datter av Nils Knutsen og Serine Eliasdatter Ӂkra bnr. 33

Has this tree for Hans Tonsen been posted?
http://stuart.scss.dyndns.info/FamilyTree/individual.php?pid=I53416&ged=Gregory-Hudson.ged
The chart format makes it easy to notice the similarity of names to the Joseph Tommasen family - Nils, Joseph and Josephine (the feminine version of Joseph), Thomas Martin (a distinctive combination), Christine, Sarah (an Anglicized Serine?).
About Trolsianne - maybe it's a feminine version of Truels. |

I haven't seen that tree that that person has been in contact with me, and most of his information came from the family tree that I have made public in ancestry.com :)

Curious that he would adopt the name of Hans. Does not seem to be a name used in his family tree, at least not that I could find. Anyway this is likely a death record for the brother Thomas Martin.
Thomas M Josefsen
in the Web: Norway Burial Index, DIS-Norge, 1700-2010
Name: Thomas M Josefsen
Gender: male
Death Date: 12 Oct 1909
Burial Place: Karmøy, Rogaland, Norway
Age: 59
Birth Date: 8 Jul 1850

There are other things to consider also. Nils Josefsen is listed as a survivor of his mother at her death in 1908 which would not be true if Hans=Nils since Hans died in 1906. Granted there could be several origins for such a situation--long distance of Australia to Norway leading to lack of communication etc.
Neither Hans Tonsen nor Nils Josefsen are found in the online index of sailor's rolls of Stavanger. Likewise several conditions might lead to this situation.
The original information at the beginning given by poster says that Hans Tonsen was born in Stavanger about 1850 to parents Joseph and Christine Tonsen. These facts were taken from Hans Tonsen's death record in 1906 in Australia.
We have not found a person of that name who answers each of the beginning facts. Even though a number of people in Norway were already inheriting surnames, the majority were still practicing the patronymic way of naming, which means it more likely that Hans would have been a Josefsen than a Tonsen in Norway.
Skudenes (and Aakre in Skudenes) is only a short distance to Stavanger so the geography is favorable.
Nils Josefsen from Aakre has only a slight presence in Norwegian records, his baptism, the 1865 census and a mention in the bygdebok and in his mother's estate record. He does not appear in the online index of Norwegian 1875 census (not comprehensive), the 1900 census nor 1910 census, so where is he?
Since some step grandchildren of Trolsianne's are mentioned in her death record, are any of Trolsianne's children mentioned in the estate record of her 2nd husband?
Ole Adnesen Aakre #11:
Kildeinformasjon: Rogaland fylke, Skudenes lensmann, Dødsfallsprotokoll (SAST/A-100444/Gga/L0001), 1884-1899, oppb: Statsarkivet i Stavanger.

Mentions 4 grown children at least one of whom is in America. There is a line about the widow but nothing I see about the stepchildren.
The estate record of Nils Josefsen's brother #3 Thomas Martin Josefsen:
Kildeinformasjon: Rogaland fylke, Skudenes lensmann, Dødsfallsprotokoll (SAST/A-100444/Gga/L0003), 1908-1912, oppb: Statsarkivet i Stavanger.
