Stange, Hedmark, Norway 1865 Census
I would like to get to the original and complete census information from the 1865 Census for Johan Olsen (LWYK-GYM) born in 1810 and Margrethe Monsdatter (K84M-C83) born in 1813; Married 11 Nov. 1835 in Stange.
I found the abbreviated census for Johan & Margrethe in the Norway digital archives (Digital Arkivet) at the link below.
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/nn/census/person/pf01038035008203
Unfortunately, this only has some brief extracted information.
In the original 1865 Census for Stange shown at the link below, I can't determine how to find the census record for Johan & Margrethe. Can you help me find the correct location (page)?
Thank you!

Here is Syverstuen in the "11te Skoledistrikt. Tangen Sokn. Strange Prestegjeld" in the original from the Norwegian Digitalarkivet.

Thank you so much.
Does Syverstuen translate to Seventh Room for the location of the residents?
11th Skole District
Tangen Parish
Strange or Stange Clerical District
Thanks!

Yeah "The Seventh Room" is its name. [Syverstuen is actually also a surname in Norway today; when people take place-names as their surnames].

I would not agree. Syver is not the number seven. Seven is syv. Syver is a perfectly good first name. The place name is a contraction of Syvers Stuen which translates to Syver's Cottage. I would guess Syver was the man who originally built the place.

OH sorry about that mistake - because "syver" in Danish actually means Seven [for instance when you throw dice].
The more common (and older) version of the name must be Sivert, which I know exist in both Norway and Denmark.
I also checked and found the surname Otterstuen [which would mean The Eight Room in Danish], but I can now see that the meaning must then come from the old-norse name Óttarr, which becomes Otter in later Norwegian
