I have searched the birth and christening records for Kristiansand and believe I have found Gim Wilhelm. He was born illegitimate 2nd December 1826 and christened 14 January 1827. The son of a bachelor sailor Ole Endresen and Steivor Erichsdatter (the wife of Ole Svensen) and named Gim Wilhelm. Steivor Erichsdatter had an illegitimate son while she was married to Ole Svensen.

This birth was reported by the midwife Ingeborg Henricksdatter the wife of Salve Erichsen.
