In the 1865 census there was a Petrine Olsdatter, 18 years old, unmarried, born in Askim, and working as a servant on the Sekkelsten farm in Askim for Johannes Paulsen and his family. This is probably the same person.

In the census for 1900 Petrine was a widow and owned Sekkelsten nordre. She had her two unmarried daughters with her helping on the farm and two farmhands. ^{4 5}
