209	A birth record for Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter would assist in sorting out her age at death but such a record has yet to be located. Her record of marriage from 1805 did not indicate the farm she came from or her age. Her death records give two separate ages suggesting birth years of either about 1776 or about 1782. The 1865 suggests a birth year of abt 1780. In the 1865 Census it states that Ingeborg Torgeirsdotter was born in Eiker parish. This is not necessarily reliable because the census record lists the wrong parish for Kari`s birth place. But since the census record lists Eiker parish as Ingeborg's birth place, it is likely that she was born in the general area, possibly in Eiker, Sigdal or Modum parishes.
