Sorens third oldest brother: Niels

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 163. Niels Hermansen is born July 23, 1758 or 9 p. Trinit to Herman Jensen of Vindum. Witnesses are difficult to decipher. He was the third son born to Herman Jensen.

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 150. Niels Hermansen marries Mette Larsdatter on December 13, 1800. Both were from Vindum. Witnesses were Herman Jensen (Niels's father) and Soren Hvam, both of Vindum.

1801 Vindum parish census, page 12. Niels is 43 and is a farmer without any land ownership. His wife Mette (no last name is listed) is 36. His wife's mother, also named Mette, is living with them and is 74, making her born about 1727.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 153. Herman is born on December 13, 1801 to father Niels Hermansen. It appears that he is Christened on December 27th. He is the first of two children born to Niels and Mette. He is carried by Noel (?) Jorgensdatter, and other witnesses I cannot decipher all from Vindum.

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 164. Laus born on 6 p Pasha or May 26, 1805 to Niels Hermansen. Witnesses were Christen Laursen, Soren Pedersen, Peder Bach, Soren Hvam and one other from Vindum. Laus is the 2nd and last child for Niels and Mette.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 148. Niels Hermansen passes away at the age of 65 on July 31, 1823 and is buried August 3. He was a tenant farmer in Vindum. His brother Soren who also lived in Vindum passed away in 1816.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 244. Widow Mette Larsdatter passes away on May 15, 1830 at the age of 65 years. She resided in Vindum. She was buried May 20. I imagine she probably lived with her son Herman Nielsen until her death. There is no census between 1801 and 1834 to tell me if this happened.
