Herman Jensen Family

Birth, Vindum parish register, page 66. Herman Jensen is born September 29 or 9?, 1727 to Jens Nielsen.
Birth, Vindum parish register, page 70. Ane is born or christened January 28, 1731 to Christen Knudsen. This find is consistent with what others have placed in new family search (unfortunately this person is combined with many other different Ane Christensdatters which are not correct). There are other Ane's born around this time to unmarried mothers but the date of her birth is conistent with the ages I find in future documents. Furthermore, she has a brother named Niels which Ane will use the name with one of her children.

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 171. Herman Jensen is confirmed in 1745, around the age of 17 or 18 years old. His father has passed away by this time and both him and his brother have another witness name in front of theirs (usually this is the father).

Confirmation, Vindum parish register, page 172. Ane is confirmed 1749. Her father is Christen Knudsen. The years around this confirmation do not show another Ane Christensdatter further strengthening the argument that the Ane born in 1731 is the future wife of Herman Jensen.

Marriage, Vindum parish register, page 132. Herman Jensen marries Ane Christensdatter on 16 p Trinit or October 7, 1753. Both Herman and Ane are from Vindum.

1787 Vindum parish census, page 3. Herman Jensen's family is family #7 in Vindum bye. The transcribed version of this on the danish census website incorrectly reports the first name of Herman as Simon, which kept me from finding this for a long time. The age of Herman Jensen is 60, putting his birth around 1727. Ane is 56 putting her birth around 1731. They have two of their children living with them, Niels, who is unmarried and 29 (b 1758) , and Gedska, who is 20 (b 1767) and unmarried.

1801 Vindum parish register, page 10. Herman and Ane are 66 and 64 (incorrect ages) and living with their daughter Gedska and her husband Soren Hvam. This shows that Ane lived at least through 1801.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 188. This page shows that an Ane Christensdatter of Faarup dies January 6, 1811. Unfortunately no age is given and I cannot verify that this is truly the wife of Herman Jensen. I have looked through the parish registers after 1801 to 1827 and do not see another death for an Anne Christensdatter. I would have thought if this were her that they would have listed Herman Jensen as being her husband as they do in most other deaths of elderly women. Furthermore she is from Faarup which is not where Herman Jensen is from when he dies in 1814. I know she isn't a young girl because they would list the father's names in the death entry. I don't know why I put this in here now as all my arguments are against this record but it will document my search nonetheless.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 138. Herman Jensen dies January 2, 1814 and is buried January 9. He was a farmer from Vindum and was 86 years, 3 months placing the date of his birth around September of 1727.
