My initial entry had Laura married to Holgar with 2 kids so this may be correct I have looked at Alfs BIRTH ORIGINAL and they r both his parents the other child was born 1897 Kristian Bruun 2-25-1897 maybe the date of marriage is on that record I'm sure I saw the marriage somewhere THTS why I put it on my tree I will check tree to see if I have put it down
Until you find the actual birth / baptism record for the son Kristian (1897) and where she / they were in 1900 you won't know what Laura's and Holger's status was. They may never have married. I suspect that in each child's baptism they will be listed as "ungkarl" and "pige" as they are on Alf's/
I suspect when Laura left as a single woman it was not as a "fraskilt" divorced single woman but as a "pige" unmarried single woman.
re The family legend about Laura that she "had" to leave for America, do the "nasty" math. She married on 29 March 1902, probably the day she arrived in Wisconsin. According to the tree the eldest child was born in 1902. Depending on the date, the why she "had" to leave for America might become more apparent.
there are for me some worrying things that it might be the right person we are following as every item i have on her she details her actual full birth date 10-7-1871, but when in America it is 1872 , but ok that could be a mistake but in the family tree they have down as her mother Bobre Heglan although the fathers name is correct Hans Peter Pedresen her Mother should be Karoline Elizabet Heggeland maybe the Bobre is a shortened version of one of her names , it seems to coincidental for this Laura to have very near the same parents name ,so it must be her
Dates from census records are approximate years. Her actual death certificate might have a fuller birthdate for her (as well as her parents' names and her birthplace) and perhaps there is some record in the church in America which might have her birthdate.
When did Hans Peter Pederson die and where? Ditto Laura's mother?
Onsøy lensmannskontor, SAO/A-10007/H/Ha/L0001: Dødsfallsprotokoll, 1897-1909, p. 73-74 Quick link: https://www.digitalarkivet.no/sk20090526330204 #47 is Hans Petter Pedersen, his children are all listed and about Laura it says she is married to (looks like) Sevrinz Sørlie and at the top of the next page ---- in Eauklar i America which might be a rendering of Eau Claire Wisconsin.
Same list of survivors as in Hans' record with the addition of her widower. Laura is listed as 29 years old but no spouse is mentioned and she apparently is living in Græsvig. Karoline died in 1901.
