I believe you are looking for the family found here in the 1880 US federal census -- Middleville, Wright, Minnesota, United States.

The daughter enumerated as "Gule" is a good match for "Julia" since at least one census AFTER she married lists her as born July 1864 in Norway.
The mother listed as "Ellen" in 1880 is possibly "Eli" in Norway and that would lead us to the birth of a "Julie" in July 1864 in Eidskog, Hedmark, Norway (record #194).The parents are living on a farm iin Eidskog called "Bratten".

The 1865 Norwegian census shows that family living on Bratten farm in Eidskog -

It is not unexpected to find the name spellings changed and the names themselves Americanized after emigration, sometimes drastically.
In 1910 you find "Erik" and "Ella" living with their MN born son, Andrew.
