update: she is found - in Hetland Norwegian: would Tea / Thea be a nickname?
Norwegian: would Tea / Thea be a nickname?
I'm looking for Tea (1875) / Thea (1885 & 1891) Sørensen, born Stavanger 1870. I have found her in the listed censuses, but not in christenings, nor in any Norwegian records later in her life.
There is one other variant: Thera, in a US WWI Draft Registration for her brother. She was the "next of kin," still living in Stavanger.
Are there any other variants of the name I should try?

There are several variations of Tea or Thea. Do you have any idea which parish in Stavanger? There are several. With some additional information, the church books could be checked in the Norwegian Archives. What are her parent's names?

Her parents are Enok Sorensen (1829; L7QB-LPL) and Siri (Serine) Asbjørnsdatter (1832; 27GV-LVY).
Bro Carl Sem was christened at Hetland in 1867
Bro Anders Johan was christened at St. Petri in 1871.
Bro Selmer Emil was christened at Domkirken in 1876.
St. Johannes wasn't built yet - it opened in 1885.
I found her in Norway census records for 1875, 1885, and 1891, plus US WWI Draft card for brother (she was still in Stavanger). Have not found her in ANY church records - on Digitalarkivet OR indexed on FamilySearch, Ancestry, OR MyHeritage.
