Hans Olsen of Vestpollen was the son of Ole Hansen and Karen Arntsdatter. Hans is recorded in the census of 1801 with age 30, with his wife and 3 children.[1] But note that the Sailor census of 1806 lists Hans at Westpolden with age 44.[2]
Married #1 to Pernille Christensdatter (1773 - 1808). Children:
Married #2 on Nov 6, 1810 to Berethe Kierstina Jensdatter (~1773 - 1853).
Furthermore, the probate after Pernille lists her children as:
After Pernille's death Hans Olsen married the widow Berethe Kierstina Jensdatter on Nov 6, 1810. This may be the Berethe Kierstina Jensdatter who is 15 in 1801, the daughter of Jens Johnsen and Martha Andersdatter of Wenie (Vinje), Gimsøy. But note that in the wedding register there is another Berethe Kierstina Jensdatter who marries Jens Ringkiób Pedersen of Soúbstad, in Gimsøy on Sep 9, 1810. Berith Kirstina Jensdtr of Saupstad died on 25 Jun 1835, and a probate was recorded on 14 Dec 1835. Judging from the age and the fact that Hans Olsen's Berethe was a widow, the girl from Vinje is more likely to be Jens Ringkjøb's wife.
Hans Olsen Vestpold is recorded as dead on 10 July 1851, buried 20 July. The age is recorded as 100, which is 20 years more than the age of 30 recorded at the census in 1801.[3]. The widow Berith Kristine Jensdatter is recorded as age 80 at her death on 3 Apr 1853, and living at Liland, so she must have moved to live with her stepson after Hans' death.[4]
