Carl Christian Hermansen Family

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 86. Herman Jensen's son Carl of Vindum is confirmed in 1784. He was born approximately 15 years earlier in 1769 as has been documented in a prior post. He was Soren's Hermansen's youngest sibling who lived into adulthood. Carl is found in the 1787 census and is 19 years old. He is an unmarried farm hand (His name is spelled Carl Gjermansen by the transcribers). In the 1801 census he is next found in Serup parish in Holm Molle and is a "Mollersvend.?" He is 33 years old.

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 93. Carl Hermansen at the age of 54 marries Ellen Nielsdatter who is 38. According to the record this is the first marriage for both of them. They were engaged on February 15 and married April 10, 1824. Present at the marriage are Niels ?, and Herman Sorensen Hvam, Carls brother in law.

Birth, Hojbjerg parish register, page 34. Herman is born February 7, 1825 to Carl and Ellen of Tange.

Death, Hojbjerg parish register, page 181. Herman passes away September 4, 1826 after living only 18 days.

Death, Hojbjerg parish register, page 184. Maren also passes away on September 4, 1826 after living 18 days. What a tragedy for Carl and Ellen who have had their first three children die so soon after birth.
