Looking for clues to find birth and parentage of Olga Konstanse Josefine Johannesdatter
Are there any clues in the marriage banns of Gustav and Olga that could help me find where Olga came from? Thank you for your help!

Is this in Norway? I would try searching for Olga in the Norway Baptisms collection on FamilySearch (link to the collection below). She has a super unique name, and the record you listed above gives her birth year as 1890. So if she's in the Norway Baptisms collection, you should be able to at least narrow down the results based on her name and birth year.

Otherwise, if you could find the actual marriage record (instead of just the banns), that could have some more specific information on where she's from.

The marriage says Gustav works at a shoe factory and is residing in Oslo. It shows Olga is a Husmor (I think that's what it says) a mother of the household and no place of residence or origin for her. Out to the side it says she has a paper to prove divorce that was dated 31 Aug. 1926, just 4 months before the wedding on 31 Dec. 1926. In doing a quick search in the DigitalArkivet, I think this is her.

Birth place: Lahel, Frogner parish, Buskerud county
