Paul Larsen, father of Maren Nikolina Paulsdatter b 1818 Vefsn, Nordland

[rkive82]

Here is another mystery.
Maren Nikolina Paulsdatter was baptised in Blaaefjelddal on or about 19th April 1818, the 4th Sunday after Easter Day (apparently). Her parents were Poul (Paul) Larsen and Henricha Elisabeth Ingebrigtsdatter.
Paul was (supposedly) the son of Lars Pedersen, Tiphaug and Milla Andersdatter, Tiphaug.
I have yet to find a marriage record for Paul and Henricha, but it appears that they had other children together. Henricha died in 1843.
There is a marriage record for a Paul Larsen to Berit Nilsdatter on 22nd June 1823 at Dolstad Kirke and they had a child together, Jacob Mathias Paulsen born 26th May 1824 in Tuvnes. Berit died in 1869.
Another tree has Paul Larsen dying in 1869 in Tuvnes, but that may not be correct.

Using my very limited knowledge of Norwegian, it appears that Paul (Paul) Larsen and Henricha had two children together out of wedlock. Maren born 1818 and then Jacob Paulsen baptised 22nd March 1820 in Vefsn. I see no other trace of this Jacob. Did he die young?
Then Paul (of Tuvnes) appears to marry Berit Nilsdatter on 22nd June 1823. They had a child, Jacob Mathias Paulsen born 26th May 1824 in Vefsn, who can be followed to his death in 1891.

Henricha had another child Jacob Christian Jacobsen born 21st July 1826. What happened to him?

I haven't found Paul in the 1865 or 1875 Census. Other trees have him as the Paul who died in 1869 at Hatten. I am not convinced yet.
