In a city and in the late 1800s, the last name of Eriksen is more likely to say that the father's last name was also Eriksen, than to say that the father's first name was Erik. Here is a good candidate, then, born August 19th 1865 and baptised March 23d 1866:
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20070301670405
1865 census and 1875 census. Pupil at the Bergen Cathedral school from 1875 to 1878.
And the same boy (again matching date of birth) in the register for a military (navy) roll. I am not sure if the roll is availbale online, and it may not necessarily contain much information if he didn't in fact serve. |

Sunniva left Norway in 1893:\
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/8/pe00000000689803
The Geni database assigns 19 Feb 1900 death date to Edvard Eriksen the father. Here it is #1:
SAST, Hĝgsfjord sokneprestkontor, H/Ha/Haa/L0008: Parish register (official) no. A 8, 1898-1920, p. 133
Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/kb20050901050855

Says he is survived by 4 adult children 2 of which are living "udlandet" from the first marriage. Not sure what the other 2 mentioned are about.
The son Peter was a missionary at one time out of the country, not sure that he was that on 19 Feb 1900. Sunniva was on the police lists of Bergen leaving in 1893.
Sunniva is listed as married to a painter when she left. Here is one such last name Martens, painter leaving in 1892 but not married:

Sunni Martens is in US in 1900:

Edvard Martin Eriksen the younger is not mentioned as surviving in the father Edvard Martin Eriksen's obit in 1900. Nor is he mentioned by name in the obit published on Sunni when she dies in San Diego California in 1909, except as fraverende brors "absentee brothers."
Sunniva Martens was granted an absolute divorce from her husband Henry J Martens in 1901. He was an artist. He deserted her in 1898 and left behind a note which mentioned his unhappiness. They met in Stockholm, according to the newspaper article titled "Did he commit Suicide?"

Good luck. I had a look at your tree at Ancestry, and noticed you have some "deep" branches in Bergen, containing, among others, members of the Giering family. This family appears to be connected with the Hanseatic Office, so sooner or later it should be explored at the www.hanseater.no website.
