Okay I think I am on the right track, but you gotta love those Norwegians;
I went back to family search and tried the father's name and got this result;
name: Kristian
Holshagen
gender: Male
baptism/christening date:
28 Oct 1894
baptism/christening place:
Lillehammer, Oppland, Norway
birth date: 23
Sep 1894
father's name: Johan
Evensen Holshagen
mother's name: Berte Kristiansdatter
still no Knudrud, but this looked to me like I might be on the right track, but why isn't Marie listed in the same search? So I tweaked the search two or three times and got;
name: Marie Johansdatter
gender: Female
baptism/christening date: 12
Jan 1890
baptism/christening place: Lillehammer,
Oppland, Norway
birth date: 17
Dec 1889
father's name: Johan
Evensen
mother's name: Berte Kristiansdatter
which just happens to match up with the calculated date of birth from the WA index for her death. Lucky for me the Norwegians don't have those parish records online yet, so I don't have to struggle through trying to find this stuff in the original hand writing.
