Johan Clausen Family

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 44. In the middle of the page on August 10, 1790 Johan Clausen of Bostrup marries Birgitha Jensdatter of Amstrup. I think at the end it says "in Houelberg Church." The parishes the Johan and Birgitha lived in were Hvorslev and Houlbjerg. Unfortunately the parish records for Houlbjerg do not start until 1797. The only records I have for this family are those recorded during the times they lived in Hvorslev and some of the records after 1797 in Houlbjerg.

Birth, Houlbjerg parish register, page 7. On March 22, 1797 Ole is born to father Johan Clausen in Hinlyuret? Ole is the fourth child born to Johan and Birgitte. I do not see the three prior children in the Hvorslev parish register and I assume they were all born in Houlbjerg.

1801 Houlbjerg parish census, page 14. Johan's family is the second family listed in Hjul?set. Johan is 45 and a small landholder, Berret is 38. They have 5 children listed. Else is 11 putting her birth around 1790. Anne is 9, putting her birth around 1792. In our family records her birth is April 20, 1792. Rasmus is 6, putting his birth in 1795. Family records record the date of February 4. Ole is 4 and Jens is 2. Family records put the date of his birth as June 28, 1798.

Death, Houlbjerg parish register, page 23. Ole passes away May 14, 1801 at the age of 5 years. I think that they are living in Hjul?set still. The census must have been done before May as Ole is listed in it as living. Also, his birthday was in March putting him at 5 years of age.

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 89. Rasmus Johansen of Hvorslev marries Ellen? Marie Sorensdatter of Hvorlsev, age 32 years. Witnesses were Johan Clausen and Soren? of Hvorslev. They are married January 4, 1817.

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 91. Envold Nielsen of Sahl marries Else Johansdatter of Hvorslev on February 17, 1821. Witnesses were Johan Clausen and Rasmus ? of Hvorslev.

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 130. Johan Clausen dies October 19, 1822 and is buried October 26. His name is the last on the page and his age was 65 putting the year of his birth around 1757.

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 134. Death Rasmus Johansen passes away January 2, 1829 and is buried January 7. He was 34 years old. I do not know the cause of death. From our family records he left behind a wife and several children.

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 218. Birgithe Kirstine Jensdatter dies March 10, 1853 and is buried on March 19. She was the wife of Johan Clausen of Hvorslev. She was born in Hvorslev and was 92 years old putting her birth year around 1761. Our family records state date was January 24, 1762 and she was christened March 14, 1762 but I have yet to find those records. She was living with family but who I do not know yet.
