Gedska's Mother: Maren Pedersdatter

Death, Vindum parish register, page 57. Maren Pedersdatter passes away on January 14, 1864. Her husband was Soren Hermansen. She was 92 years old. No cause of death is listed. I have hardly ever seen a 90 something year old in the death records. The details of her life are documented from her marriage in 1803 and beyond through the posts about her children. As stated earlier, I cannot find her birth records nor identify her in the 1787 or 1801 census. I know she was in Thorsoe in 1803 and that she was born in Sahl or Sall parish (or near them) between 1768-1778.
