Peder Sorensen

Marriage, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 137. Peder Sorensen of Tharup, age 29 marries Magdalene Larsdatter, age 27 years of Tharup on January 12, 1833. Soren was confirmed in 1818. I found him going and leaving the Vindum parish at various times between then and his marriage date. The couple is entry #1 in 1833. The paragraph at the top of the page dated November 18, 1832 must be announcing their intention to marry each other. I can make our the name Peder Sorensen and Madalene Larsdatter of Thaarup.

Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 40. Soren Pedersen is born to the couple several months after the marriage March 19, 1833. Witnesses include Laurtiz ? and others from Thaarup (Looking at current maps, this town is called Torup and eventually became it's own parish).

Arrival, Vindum parish register, page 145. Peder Sorensen, age 30, Magdalene Larsdatter, age 28, and Soren Pedersen, age 3/4 years arrive in Vindum October 5, 1833. The record documents that they are from Taarup.

1834 Vindum parish census, page 17. Family # 25 in Vindum Mark shows Peder Sorensen Hvam, age 30, and his wife Magdalene Lauritzdatter, age 28, and their son Soren Pedersen, age 1 living with Peder's brother Herman and his wife Marie Kirstine, as well as Peder and Herman's mother Gedske Hermansdatter, age 67.

Departure, Vindum parish register, page 205. Peder's stay in Vindum was short as this document shows their departure April 29, 1834. Peder is 30 1/2 years, Magdalene is 28 1/2. Interestingly Soren Pedersen their one year old son is not with them. They are going back to Thaarup.

Arrival, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 170. Peder and Magdalene arrive May 4th, 1834 in Torup after coming from Vindum parish.

Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 43. Gedske Pedersdatter is born May 11, 1834---just a few days after Peder and Magdalene arrived back in Torup. I cannot make out any names of the witnesses.

Death, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 209. One year after the birth of his little Gedske, Peder passes away at the age of 32 On September 20, 1835. He is buried September 25. His wife Magdalene would go on to remarry and have other children as can be demonstrated in future census's in Sonder Vinge parish.

Vindum parish census 1845, page 15. This document shows that Soren Pederson, the only son of Peder and Magdalene stays and lives with Herman and Marie Kirstine throughout his life. In fact, after Marie Kirstine's death, Herman lives with Soren Pedersen and his wife, Maren Madsen (18 years old and born in Vindum parish in the 1860 Vindum parish census). He is 12 years old in this census with his birthplace listed as Thaarup. He is listed as a foster child in this 1845 census.
