Hamar is a large riverport town. Evidently this wasn't a permanent move as they were back in Stange in later years.13 Even and Lisbeth lived in October 1854 at at Sveen farm near the village of Ottestad Stange Parish, Hedmark, Norway.14 As of October 1854, Even Evensen Sørum was also known as Even Evensen Glestadeie (in the Norwegian tradition) when he was at this farm. He and Lisbeth Simensdatter Lundgård moved with their daughter to Byflaten, Ringsaker Parish, Hedmark, mid 1855. Glæstad is a small town 34km to the north west of Stange.15 Even Evensen Sørum was a cotter, or head servant / foreman on 1 January 1865 at Byflaten, Ringsaker Parish, Hedmark.16

He was recorded as head of household in the 1865 census with Lisbeth Simensdatter Lundgård as his spouse at at Sveum farm Ringsaker Parish, Hedmark, Norway. He was 41 years old. He was recorded as being 43 years old; also living in the house were his five children. His parents lived close by.4

In 1867 Even bought Sørum farm from Marte Christensdatter for 400 spd.17 Even and Lisbeth lived on 1 June 1867 at at Sørum farm near the town of Ringsaker Parish, Hedmark, Norway. Their children were also likely living with them.18

At the age of 45 Even and Lisbeth emigrated with their youngest six children (leaving their oldest child Agnethe in Norway) from Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, on 27 April 1870 on the "Josephine."19,1 Even and Lisbeth arrived at Quebec, Canada, on 22 June 1870.19,1
