Siri Knudsdatter was born, roughly estimated, about 1699. She may have been the daughter of Knud Eriksen Aakre and Brite Nilsdatter. The 1699 probate for Brite Nilsdatter Aakre names a daughter, Siri Knudsdatter, who was probably born in the 1690s (based on the ages of her brothers). She would have been about the right age to be the Siri Knudsdatter who lived at Stenes in Hjørundfjord.
Siri's first husband was Ole Halvorsen Viddal (~1690 - 1740). They lived at Stenes in Hjørundfjord. Their children were:
Siri married her second husband Henrik Olsen (Rekkedal) Ville (~1695 - 1755) on 16 Jul 1747 in Hjørundfjord.[1] She seems to have lived at Ville in Hjørundfjord after the marriage, where she lived at the time of her death.
Siri was buried on 30 Sep 1757 in Hjørundfjord.[2] Her age was not mentioned in the burial record.
