Johan Peter Kristiansen ^{1 2 3 4}

   Another name for Johan was Johan Peter Kristiansen Bingsengen.

  General Notes:

In the census for 1865 Johan lived on the Engen (til Bingen mellem) farm with his parents. He was then 6 years old.

  Noted events in his life were:

• He was confirmed on 4 Oct 1874 in Trøgstad church, Trøgstad, Østfold, Norway.

• He was a farmer, farmowner and woodjoiner [Gaardbruger S og Snedker - Selveier] in 1900 in Bingsengen, Trøgstad, Østfold, Norway.

Johan married Kirstine Olsdatter, daughter of Ole Guttormsen Pella and Marthe Andersdatter, on 1 Dec 1882 in Trøgstad, Østfold, Norway.¹ (Kirstine Olsdatter was born on 29 Apr 1860 in Trøgstad, Østfold, Norway ⁵ and was christened on 17 Jun 1860 in Trøgstad, Østfold, Norway.)

  Marriage Notes:

His father appears to have been recorded as Kristian Jonsen Bingsengen when Johan Peter married. In the census for 1865 there is a Kristian Johnsen who owned and farmed the Engen (til Bingen mellem) farm in Trøgstad. This is surely Johan Peter's father.

In the census for 1900 Johan Peter and Kirstine owned and farmed the Bingsengen farm in Trøgstad. Kirstine's mother was with them. They had 3 daughters and 3 sons with them at that time. ^{1 2 3}
