Marriage record from Søndeled, Aust-Agder, Norway, Help needed for reading the patronymic name of groom.

Anders Hovorsen? Moland, married Thora Halvorsdatter 13 July 1727. If it is indeed Hovorsen, the "H" does not conform well to the "H" in Halvorsdatter.

  You are right the name is Anders Hovorsen [of] Moland [farm] and Thora (Thore) Halvorsdatter. You are right, the H in Halvorsdatter and Hovorsen are different, but there are many variations in how to write these letters.
