Census:
1865 census at Austre Moland, Aust Agder, NORWAY shows Elling Ellefsen, 41, born Tønsberg, occupation, "Hmd uden Jord Murer"; Berte Olsdatter, 32, b. Østermolands Prgj; Children b. Østermolands Prgj: Marthe, 12; Olavia, 7; Elise B., 3; Ellef, 10.
Note: Baptism records indicate Elling was baptised in Kongsberg, as were his two older siblings. The remaining siblings were baptised in Modum, about 30 miles north and east. 1865 census records indicate Elling was born in Tønsberg. Census records for Nils Ellefson (older brother) show he was born in Kongsberg and records for Ole (younger brother) show he was born in Modum. I tend to believe the census records were mis-read.
