3 Children of Anne Marie Sorensdatter and Christen Mikkelsen

Birth, Houlbjerg parish register, page 57. Maren Christensdatter is born on October 28, 1834. She is the first child of Anne Marie and Christen and is born 4 months after they were married in June.

Death, Houlbjerg parish register, page 203. Maren Christensdatter passes away at the age of 4 on July 12, 1838. I believe a cause of death is in the far right column.

Birth, Houlbjerg parish, page 66. Mikkel Christensen is born on November 30, 1838, about 4 months after his older sister Maren dies. He is christened in the church January 6, 1839. Witnesses include Ane Marie Jensdatter, and Soren Pedersen of Langae (Could this be Maren Sorensdatter's husband?).

Birth, Houlbjerg parish register, page 75. Maren Christensen is born on April 28, 1841. Named after he sister who preceded her in death. Witnesses include Mette Kirstine Jespersdatter, Peder Hermansen ?, and Soren Mikkelsen (Christen's brother perhaps) of Houlbjerg.
