What are the names on the marriage record

I have a hint that Halvor Taralsen Voldojen married Ingrorg Olsdatter Gjorakokken on 26 Jan 1862. I went to the source and it is very hard to read. Can someone if possible be able to read this to see if this is the correct record? If you can read it can you see if they put the parent names on it and what are their names? With this link below it is the first record on the page.

what parish is this in?

Hello #[Jonathan Robinson]​ ,

 

It's good to hear from you. Here is what I see: The marriage was 26 January, 1862 in Romfo parish, the bachelor, tenant farmer, Halvor Taralsen of Nisia (Nisja), grooms birthplace & residence Romfo, age 38, grooms fathers name: tenant farmer Tarald Olsen of Nisjam. Which could be short for Nisjamøyen (the “N” matches Nilsen in entry 5, the little “s” is in gothic and the “j” has been replaced with an “i”). There is no farm by that name in Romfo in Rygh or the Wiki but there is a Nisjaøyen in Sunndal and Romfo is in Sunndal clerical district. The bride is the maiden Ingeborg Olsdatter of Gjøra, brides birthplace Romfo, age 36, brides fathers name: Ole Taraldsen of Gjøra.

I don’t where Voldøyen came from. Maybe Halvor lived on that farm later in life. Gjorakokken is a variant on Gjøra.

 

Also, please include the name of the parish in your posts. It helps to figure out place names.

 

Thanks,

Geoff

Thanks for replying @Morris Geoffrey Fröberg​ and @Tanner Blair Tolman​. Sorry, I forgot to put the parish Romfo in Sunndal clerical district. It's been a while and trying to get back into family history work.

 

I have part of a farm book and Gjøra is in it. You are correct bride's father is Ole Taraldsen of Gjøra which I found in the farm book and again confirms I have the correct record for their marriage. Thanks for helping me!

 

You said you don't' know where Voldøyen coming from. Looking in the farm book it says Voldøyen is under Vollan in Sunndal. FYI

 

Also, you said Halvor Taralsen is from Nisia. I did find a parish called øvre Nisja. I wonder if this is the same place. I did find a Tarald Olsen but need to dig into more to make sure this is the same person.

 

Thanks for the translation. This helps to confirm it is correct and gave me more awesome leads to finding my family!
