Marriage, Viborg Domsogn register, page 18. Marriage of Soren Herman Pedersen of Viborg, 23 years, to Ane Marie Poulsen also of Viborg, age 22. It is May 30, 1857. This is an amazing discovery (I had almost given up finding him) as I knew he was in the Viborg area in 1880, but stumbled across this marriage record in the register after looking through 15 different parish registers...Viborg was not too far from Elsborg and perhaps to a young man this may have been an exciting place to go.

It is not listed as a stillborn and is not given a name so it must not have been christened before she died. Ane Marie was 34 at the time. There is writing on the right hand column that must explain the situation but I haven't learned Danish yet.
