The 1865 census for Land shows a Kristian Kristianssen, Husmd md Jord, on the Skougstad farm in 0536 Søndre Land. His household consists of himself, 54, his wife Karen Olsdatter, 54, their unmarried sons Andreas, 22, Bernt, 20, and Karl, 12, and, supposedly, their (probably one of their son’s) daughter Agnete Kristiansdatter, 3. Everyone had been born in Lands.

Regarding that Agnete, there seem to be no good matches in the birth record. The best:

Agnete, b. 24 May 1862, bapt. 8 Jun, to the married couple Andreas Christiansen and Martea Eriksdatter Røes…

Agnethe, b. 29 Jun 1862, bapt. 27 Jul, to the married couple Christian Christiansen and Helena Simensdatter Lomødalsj…
