Torstensen/Iversen/Andersen - Norway

[breakfree]

Johanne Torstensen was born 31 Dec 1822, Sandefjord, Vestford, Norway in 1849 she married Anders Iversen (he was a fisherman who went missing around 1866).

she was last seen as Johanne Iversen on the 1910 census with her son Søren Andersen and family, word is that she died sometime around 1912 at the ripe old age of 90 (not an uncommon milestone with regards her descendents

i'm also trying to find deaths for 3 of her 7 children (the other 4 have been accounted for in Norway, USA and New Zealand):

Iver Thorvald Andersen born 22 Mar 1849, Langestrand, Larvik, Vestfold, Norway (last seen in Kristiania in 1910)

Søren Andersen born 2 Mar 1852, Langestrand, Larvik, Vestfold, Norway (last seen in Larvik in 1910)

Anne Kirstine Andersen born 4 Jul 1858, Langestrand, Larvik, Vestfold, Norway (last seen in a picture taken in 1873)


can anybody help me with regards to finding Johanne's (or her childrens) death/s? it would be most appreciated.

cheers
Richard

Have you had a go through the digitised parish records?
You might have more luck looking for the rest of Søren's family.

This appears to be Søren 's wife's death in 1928:

suggests they did stay in Larvik.

cheers jorose, yeah i've tried trawling through that site - with not much my Norwegian isn't that great (or non-existent, but we do pick things up with the written word - just don't ask me to speak it....

I had hoped there would be some source for being able to order certificates like most other countries - but they don't seem to roll like that over there in the land of my ggg-grandmother - or do they???
