'''1870'''
The 1870 Census was taken Dec 31, 1870.  It only covers the cities and seaports.  There are many cites missing: Hølen in Vestby, Åsgårdsstrand, Hamar, Stathelle, Kragerø, Farsund, Sandnes, Stavanger, Vardø and Vadsø. 
There are no indexes for this Census, so it can be very time consuming to search. 
'''1885'''
Just like the 1870 Census this Census is also only for the cities and seaports, but it has an index!  There were different forms used for the Lapps, Kveins, Finns, and persons of mixed nationalities.

Census records are often available for various cities in Norway, such as an 1891 census for Bergen and an 1885 census for Fredrikstad. Not all of these censuses have been microfilmed, but you may consult the Family History Library Catalog to see what is available.
