What information are you looking for? You have a great deal already.
The family in the 1801 Norwegian census -
http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/webcens.exe?slag=visbase&sidenr=4&filnamn=f11133&gardpostnr=55&sokefelt=skjul
Hjelmeland parish records as early as 1760 still survive and can be used on LDS microfilm copies at your nearest LDS Family History Center.
A published history of the area exists and could be used to possibly gather more detail -
"Hjelmeland: gardar og folk", 3 volumes by Trygve Brandal
There was a previous thread about this family on the RootsWeb Norway Mailing List -

A quick use of a search engine for just one spelling of the name 'Askwig' returned 66 possible results...
