Rasmus Nielsen Family

Hvorslev parish register, page 43. Birth of Rasmus to Birgitha Kirstine of Hvorslev. Our family records indicate he was born on June 13, 1790. The only date I see within the paragraph is August 23, 1790. Birgitte was not married and would not be until 1799. It is not clear to me what the rest of the paragraph says. Later on in life Rasmus as well as Birgitte take the last name of Nielsen. In the 1787 census I find that Birgitte and her mother Inger Rasmusdatter are living in the home of a Niels Joensen who is married and has five children. I think that Birgitte gave her child the last name of Nielsen because that was the first name of the man whose home she was living in (Patronymics) even though I don't think there is any blood relationship there.
Hvorslev parish register, page 90. Marriage of Rasmus Nielsen, aged 29 of Hvorslev to Ane Johansdatter, 27 years of Hvorslev on April 24, 1819. Johan Clausen, the father of Ane is listed. I do not recognized the other name in that column.

Vester Velling parish census 1834, Household #67, Liltorup Bye, Middelsom district, Viborg county. Rasmus is 44, Ane is 42. Laurs their oldest is 19, Niels is 13, Jens is 12, and Ane Elisabeth is 10. A great find is that Birgitte Kirstine Nielsdatter aged 77, Rasmus's mother is living with them. She is listed as a widow.

Vester Velling parish census, 1840. Household #62, Liltorup Bye, Middelsom district, Viborg county. Rasmus is 50, Ane is 48. They have two children living with them, Ane Elisabeth aged 10, and Laurs aged 25 whose occupation is "weaver." Birgitte Kirstine Nielsdatter is 82. Interestingly, a Gjodske Sorensdatter (this is Gedska) is 25, unmarried and living with the family. She is listed as Laurs's apprentice in weaving. They go on to get married this same year November 29th, two weeks before the death of their 7 month old child.

Vester Velling parish census 1845, page 18. Household #9, Lille Thorup bye, Middelsom district, Viborg county. Rasmus is 54, Ane is 52 and Birgitte Kirstine is 89, with all three being listed as being born in Hvorslev. They are living with their daughter Ane Elisabeth, aged 20, who is now married to Niels Jensen Langvad, aged 29. Niels occupation is "Boelsmand" and he is listed as being born in Albek sogn in Aalborg county (Hjorring-Randers county). Niels and Ane Elisabeth have a one year old daughter Jensine Claudiane Nielsdatter, born in Hvorslev. Laurs and Gedska have moved away by now.

Vester Velling parish register, page 208. Deaths of Birgitte Kirstine Nielsdatter and Ane Johansdatter. From the census documents Birgitte lived with Rasmus and Ane. Birgitte Kirstine dies on November 22, 1846 and is buried November 29, 1846 at the age of 88. Amazingly, just above her name is Ane Johansdatter who passed away on May 4, 1846 and buried May 13, 1846. Rasmus Nielsen of Liltorup is listed in the right column.

Oster Velling parish register, page 110. Marriage of Rasmus Nielsen, aged 52 of Liltorup to Maren Sorensdatter, aged 30 of Vester Velling on May 31, 1846, several weeks after the death of his first wife. I believe that the name of Maren's father is Soren ? Christensen of Oster Velling. Grandfather is Christen Sorensen of Oster Velling. This was not listed in our family history sheets.
