Passengers aboard the ship Victoria in 1868
Passengers aboard the ship Victoria in 1868
The family of Ole Pederson and the family of Kristine Pedersdatter are listed as passengers aboard the Victoria.

They left the city of Christiania (the name for Oslo, Norway at that time) on April 29, 1868 on the bark "Victoria" and arrived in Quebec on July 16, 1868. The family of Ole Pederson and Karen Nilsdotter are entry #s 164, 165, 166, and 167. Their residence was listed as Kristiania(Oslo)/Sørum. The parish of Sørum is just north of Oslo, so it is understandable they named both areas.

Also note the four names above Ole Pederson. They are also from Kristiania/Sørum. Further investigation reveals that this family is the brother-in-law and sister of Ole Pederson.

Probate record for Torkild Kristoffersson
Probate record for Torkild Kristoffersson
Torkild`s probate starts near the bottom of the page in the far left column and goes on for the next 2 columns ending at the far right side of the page about half way down the last column. His probate is dated June 7, 1747. His wife Marit and their six remaining living children are all named along with the two girls' spouses and where the six kids lived at that time. It looks like Kjetil Torkildsson was still living on the Støvern farm in 1747. Unfortunately this record gives no ages for anybody.

The Sigdal church records begin in the year 1722, so it won`t be possible to find any accurate birth dates for this entire family, but when their ages are mentioned in other records, this of course will help to pin point out a year or time frame.
