The 1865 census shows a woman named Severine Andersdatter who was born on the farm called Laxevaag. She is listed as a Vaskerkone. What does this mean. Thank you for any help.

[Gjest Hans Mathisen]

"Vaskekone" is a cleaning woman.

[Gjest Heidi Tofterå Slettemoen]

And today the farm Laxevaag has given name to one of the city of Bergens largest townparts and "suburbs", Laksevåg.

[Gjest Bjørn Davidsen]

She was not born on the farm Laxevaag; she only lived there. She was born on the farm Flaatten, Indre Holmedal, Sunnfjord.
