Wow again thank you, I wasn’t quite sure how the naming and the Farms worked, I understand much better now thanks to you, yes sigvart or in the US Sidney is a name that runs in our family, my Grandfather was named Sidney, but that’s where it stopped, as far as I am aware from sigvart down only my Grandfather, as Sigvart worked on the klemestrude farm and went to the US straight from that particular Farm, he then took the name of that farm to the US with him, it makes much more sense now, I can’t thank you enough for all of your help

Best wishes

Sigvart's mother Randine ("Randia") was born on the neighboring farm Sotholtet, located about a kilometer South/South East of Klemetsrud. Here is a clipping from Aurskog og Blaker bygdebok about the family on Sotholtet. Everybodey on the page should be your family. Sigvart and many of the siblings you listed in your original post are mentioned, maybe all, just with diffrent versions of the first names. At the time, the farm was rented. Randia's sister Maren Sofie remained on Sotholtet, and her son Hans bought the farm in 1950.

Original record Nr. 30

I think the transcription Tolvedt above is wrong. I read the original as Folveld, and there is indeed a Folveld (modern spelling Folvell) farm in Nes. It looks like the pair had a child for baptism earlier in the year. (Link) This time the fram is transcribed as Folvold, but again the original could just as well be Folveld.

An indication that this is indeed the same pair that was married later the same year, is the comment (in the original -- it is not included in the transcribed record) that this is the first "leiermaal" of both parents, i.e. the first child out of wedlock.
