More information that would indicate the Christine Britton is Christina Erlandsdatter born in Stavanger. Although I think that the birth date is off.

Probably the wedding of the parents of Susanne in 1809 in Kristiansand. Parents are Niels Christian Christiansen and Birthe Christiane Christensdattter.

Yes, I had seen that one and then lost it again. Name Niels Christian is interesting, given the child born in 1847, and also interesting is the fact that he was a carpenter. |

And this pair had moved to Stavanger at the time of Birthe Christiane's death in 1854.

Still haven't found Susanne's birth, but I would be willing to bet that the couple above are her parents. Familysearch also finds the wedding (actually two weddings) of one Niels Christian Nielsen in Stavanger, born 1821 in Kristiansand, with father Niels Christian Christensen. Here is what I found on page 229, in the section on master carpenters, in Borgerrulle for Kristiansand (Norwegian IPs only). Niels Christian Christensen enters the carpenters' guild in Kristiansand in 1810 and leaves it in 1818. Possibly he stays on in Krsitainsand a few more years, but my suspicion is that the couple moves on to somewhere where church books haven't been preserved (or transcribed) and have a few more chilkdren there before finally arriving in Stavanger. |

And here is a beauty: Searching for Nils Christian Christensen's stepfather Hans Fermedahl in the 1801 census, I find him living with his stepson Nils Christian and Nils Christian's mother Susanne Marie:

Good point Jackie, caused me to go back and look and I found a new mystery.
Willie Olaus Erlandsen in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, 1826-1969 Name: Willie Olaus Erlandsen Baptism Age: 0 Record Type: Baptism Birth Date: 28 Jun 1862 Baptism Date: 5 Oct 1862 Baptism Place: Chicago, Illinois, USA Father: Simon Erlandsen Mother: Berte Gurnie Osmunds Church Name: Our Saviour's Lutheran Church Church Location: Chicago, Illinois
Witnesses are Anders Olsen, unreadable, Erik Simonsen.
Churches are also different
It is hard to not believe that this is not the same Simon Erlandsen and Berte, we have found for Theo and Syverine, but where was this son in 1870? Deceased maybe?
Here is the original record where we found the mother with the last name of Berthe Osmundsdatter.
Name: Syverin Bertin Erlandsen Baptism Age: 0 Record Type: Baptism Birth Date: 10 Jan 1859 Baptism Date: 13 Feb 1859 Baptism Place: Cook, Illinois, USA Father: Simone Erlandsen Mother: Berthe Osmundsdatter Church Name: Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church Church Location: Chicago, Illinois |

I would think that this is the witnesses from above Erik Simpson aka Erik Simonsen son of Simon Erlandsen. His occupation is a carpenter and he arrived in 1854.
