I found him going and leaving the Vindum parish at various times between then and his marriage date. The couple is entry #1 in 1833. The paragraph at the top of the page dated November 18, 1832 must be announcing their intention to marry each other. I can make our the name Peder Sorensen and Madalene Larsdatter of Thaarup.

Soren would have been 21 years old at this time, and Jens Jorgen would have been 11.
