This is indexed as Ole Arnesen and Lisbeth Botolfsdr. Engagement middle column left page, marriage just to the right. Is his residence on the engagement Rostad? Hers?
There are several similar Lisbeth B's. A surprisingly common name. One has a 1724 baptism in Eid, father Bothel Hougne = Haugen? https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NCMQ-2JF
Thank you again.

I am reading the engagement and marriage records as "Ole Arnes(en) Rørstad with Lisbeth Bottolphsdatter Hougen".
In the 13 August 1724 birth of Lisbets, the father is Bothel Hougen. Botel would be the same name.
If you look at the Nordic Names Wiki, under the name "Botel", you will see that Botel is a Norwegian variant form of Botolv, so I would think that there is more than a good chance that the Lisbets Bothelsdatter (Botelsdatter) born in 1724 and the Lisbeth Botholphsdatter (or Botholvsdatter/Botholfsdatter) is the same person. That information is here: https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Botel_m under Origin and Meaning. If you do a search "Bot" in Nordic Names Wiki, you will see some other variations of the name: Bottolf and Bottolv.
Keep in mind that a name would be spelled as the person writing the record thought it should be spelled and there wasn't any standardised spelling until much later.
