Jane I like your idea tying Svend's wife to Peter Magnussen. Here from an Ancestry.com tree is the info from there on Svend's wife.

Maria Lisa Magnusdotter
1840–1883

BIRTH 13 FEB 1840 • Nössemark, Sverige
DEATH 30 DEC 1883 • Halden, Ostfold, Norway

Her birth

Maria Lisa Magnusdotter
in the Sweden, Select Baptisms, 1611-1920
Name: Maria Lisa Magnusdotter
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 13 feb 1840
Baptism Date: 14 feb 1840
Baptism Place: Nössemark, Älvsborg, Sweden
Mother's Age: 22y
Father: Magnus Svensson
Mother: Greta Bryngelsdotter
FHL Film Number: 85079

Her parents

Magnus Svensson
BIRTH 18 AUGUSTI 1818 • Håbol, Älvsborg, Sverige

Greta Bryngelsdotter
BIRTH 30 NOV 1817 • Nössemark

Their child

Name: Laura Elise Svend Edvardsdatter
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 10 okt 1869 (10 Oct 1869)
Baptism Date: 26 des 1869 (26 Dec 1869)
Baptism Place: Halden, Ostfold, Norway
Father: Svend Edvard Pedersen
Mother: Marie Elise Magnusen
FHL Film Number: 125888
Reference ID: 2:2DZXBMD

The 1900 and 1910 Census give different birth dates for Laura and I have not been able to find her in the Parish records.
1910 gives 10.09.1868
1900 gives 1868.08.10

The other side of the equation. Here is the marriage of Peter Magnussen and Laurine Nilsdatter.

Name: Jan Peder Magnussen
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Birth Date: 24 jul 1834
Marriage Date: 10 aug 1862
Marriage Place: Tonsberg,Vestfold,Norway
Father: Magnus Jansen
Spouse: Laurine Nilsdr
FHL Film Number: 278260

Here is the record. Difficult to read but looks like the father of Laurine is Nils Hansen Smidsrød. The father of Peter Magnussen is Magnus Jansen and Peter is listed as a sailor.

#18

You can see that the birth date given for Peter in the Parish record is July 24, 1834.

That matches this birth record from Ancestry.

Name: Jan Petter Magnusson
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 24 jul 1834
Baptism Date: 27 jul 1834
Baptism Place: Ärtemark , Älvsborg, Sweden
Mother's Age: 23y

That information leads to this tree information for the parents.

Magnus Jansson
BIRTH 3 AUG 1810
DEATH 12 JUL 1857 • Dammen, Bengtsfors, Dalsland

Maria Persdotter
BIRTH 29 SEP 1811 • Laxarby, Skaggerud, Bengtsfors kn, Dalsland
DEATH 28 APR 1895

All of these areas are in the Dalsland which matches the place of birth listed for Peter Magnussen found in the 1875 Census of Dalsland Sverige.

However it seems as if the trail leads back to two different places and people in Sweden. Although Nössemark, Älvsborg, Sweden and Ärtemark, Älvsborg, Sweden are only twenty kilometers apart.

Nice idea though.

Christians parents was Karoline Andersdtr. Skallevold/Soli and Christian Christiansen Marsvall/Marsvold.

Here he is together with those who take care of him, out of the copies, it looks like he stay with them until adult: http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1875&knr=0721&kenr=009&bnr=0010&lnr=00

Thank you Mariann. Here he is in 1900 Census

1900

I see he is living with people named Johannessen, same name as was used by Peter in the 1875 Census. I wonder if there is a connection there and that is where the Johannessen name comes from.

His baptism

I think you are doing fine Mariann, without your research we would have been dead days ago.

This is likely the Even Edvard Pedersen who was first tagged as the father of Peter Evensen and then seemed as if he denied being the father and was replaced in the story by Svend Edvard Pedersen.

1865

1875

Other than a name on a page what's known about him?

Mariann can probably say more, but has described the belatedly alleged father of Peter as Svend Edvard Petersen, 23 years old, from Marker prestegjeld. (Presumably age 23 when Peter was born), and a little more, here: link

Nice try on the Magnusen idea.

We know very little of the father of Peter.

From the Mariann link provided by Jane

"Men det visar seg i svaret eg fekk frå Statsarkivet i Kongsberg, at mor plutseleg hugsa at faren var ein annan enn den som vart oppgjeve i krk.boka ved dåpen til Peter!!"

So she received an answer from the Statsarkivet that the mother said that she suddenly remebered that the father is different than the one in the parish book for the baptism of Peter.

And later

"Her er svaretfrå Kongsberg: men vi finner noe korrespondanse i arkivet fra Jarlsberg og Larvik amt, hvor det fremgår at barnefarens rette navn var Svend Edvard Petersen (23 år) fra Marker prestegjeld (jfr. vedlagte kopier), og at han skulle betale bidrag for barnet. Dette bidraget ble eventuelt innkrevd av bidragsfogden i Tønsberg i tiden han var de"

And a rough translation.

Here is answer from Kongsberg: we could not find any correspondence in the archives of Jarlsberg and Larvik County, which states that the child's father's real name was Svend Edvard Petersen (23 years) from Marker parish (cf. Enclosed copies), and that he should pay contributions for child. This contribution was eventually collected by the maintenance in Tønsberg in the time he was there, (the he is I assume Peter)

So Jackie the second person you have posted fits the name presented by Mariann for the real father of Peter but we have no proof that I can find from official sources that indicates that the Svend Edvard Pedersen of Marker Østfold. is the father of Peter.

I do vaguely remember reading that the person identified in the parish record as the father of Peter denied that he was the father, however I cannot find that remark when I went back to look for it.

Here Mariann states that Even Edvard Petersen actively denied paternity.

Okay which ones of accused fathers don't deny, deny, deny?

Even Edvard died in 1910, is there a dødfallsprotokol for him?

Even Edvard may or may not have other descendants himself but likely his sister has descendants so if the DNA test doesn't work for Sven Edvard there might be same avenues for Even.

As far as I can tell there appears to be at least two marriages between Svend Edvard and other women. What kind of situation could have occured for a person from the eastern border of Norway to come to Noteroy or vice versa. Either she come to him or he comes to her....

Yes, that was my thoughts too, but in the same time we find this: http://www.rhd.uit.no/folketellinger/ftliste.aspx?ft=1875&knr=0721&kenr=006&bnr=0109&lnr=00

A little digging has turned up the marriage of the parents of Caroline. They are Anders Larsen and Anne Dorthea Christensdatter married in Ramnes 7 January 1830. Farm name for Anders is Skallevold and for Anne Dorthea it looks like Førum.

# 7

Anne Dorthea was born about 1810 but I have some difficulty finding the parish records. However there was a Ole Chritiansen born in 1818 and his baptism record shows parents Christian Nilsen and Ingeborg Guttormsdatter Foorum.

#16

And a son Niels April 20, 1808

#23

Here is a Christian age 18 on the farm Forum in the 1801 Census.

1801


And a Ingeborg Guttormsdatter

Ingeborg

Difficult set of parish records to go through but here is Anne Dorthea Christiansdatter Klop Rødningen born June 25, 1809. Parents are Christian Nielsen and Ingeborg Guttormsdatter.

#24

Christian Nielsen Førum and Ingeborg Guttormsdatter Indlauget married Dec 30 1807. Found number 1 in 1808 records.

#1
