Here is Anne Larsdatter's christening record from the Sør-Fron films. This is the oldest and least legible. The date is 8 Feb. 1801. Birth date not given. From Ministerialbok Fron 1799-1816

By this time, there were two sets of records; a Ministerialbok for each parish, and a Klokkerbok (kept by a clerk) for each congregation within the parish. However, I could not find the above marriage record in the Klokkerbok for Sør-Fron church, nor for Sødorp, the only other nearby possibility.

Second child, Embjør, born 27 Sept., baptized 19 Oct. 1823:
Third child, Anne, 1827:
I have so far found no other records for this child. I suspect she died early, but am still searching for any documentation. Searching is not easy, as there are an awful lot of "Anne Larsdatter's," including her mother.
There are nearly identical baptism records for Kari (1830), Mari (1834), and Marit (1837). All six records are found in both the Ministerialbok and Klokkerbok.
Since this book continues through 1843, Ole should be here too (born 10 Dec. 1841), but he is not. Here is Ole's record from Oslo Prison Ministerialbok:

Going back to the Sør-Fron films, Poul Larsen died at age 15, on 16 June 1836. Buried 24 June, Sør-Fron.

Lars Poulsen died 15 Feb. 1855, age 62. Buried 6 March, Sør-Fron.

Other records I have found include confirmations of Embjør (1838), Kari (1845), and Marit (1852), as well as the confirmation of Ole himself on 7 June 1857
(same book)
Also found, but not pictured here:
1843: Embjør departed Sør-Fron, destination Trondheim.
1850: Embjør married in Korskirke, Bergen (not Trondheim) to Peder Endresen Lyserud. Uncertain if this was her first marriage.
1855: Illegitimate son (Ole, later surnamed Nesseth) born to Kari and bachelor Rasmus Knudsen Kjorstadeie.
1862: Kari departed Sør-Fron, destination Gausdal parish.
1862: Kari married in Gausdal to Ole Pedersen Nesseth.
And the final image, 1865: Ole, Mari, and Marit departed Sør-Fron, destination North America. One mystery - Why is their mother Anne Larsdatter not listed here? I have so far found no record of her between Feb. 1842 when she was released from prison with 2-month-old Ole, and June 1865 on the passenger list of the emigrant ship along with these three offspring:
