Anne Johansdatter, 1st wife of Rasmus

Hvorslev parish register, page 47. Near the bottom of the page I find Anne who was born to Johan Clausen. Our family records indicate that she was born April 20th or 29th, 1792. This is the correct year but I am not able to make out a date within the paragraph. According to our family records her mothers name was Birgithe Jensen Agaard, and I can make out a gaardsdatter within the paragraph. Anne married Rasmus in 1819 and they had several children together as detailed below. She passed away May 4, 1846 in Vester Velling Parish.


Hvorslev parish register, page 223. Death of Johan Clausen at the age of 65 on October 19, 1822. This would put his birth year around 1757. He was the father of Anne Johansdatter. The right hand column does not say he is from Hvorslev but Hol...perhaps this is Houlbjerg parish where I believe his wife is from according to the birth record of Anne. Did they move to Hvorslev parish from Houlbjerg? Perhaps...I have not been able to find his birth in the Hvorslev parish register and unfortunately the Houlbjerg parish registers only begin in 1797.
