Else Johansdatter: Sister of Anne Johansdatter

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 91. Else was the oldest child of Johan and Birgitte. This marriage document shows that she was first married in 1821 on February 17, 1821. She is from Hvorslev and her husband Envold Nielsen is from Sahl. Envold is an Enkemand or "widow." Envold at this time is 45 years old and Else is 31 years old. Else's father Johan Clausen is one of the witnesses. Else and Envold would have no surviving children as I will show below.

If Envold and Else had any surviving children they would have been listed in this census with them as they oldest would have been 13 years old and likely not have left the home yet to work.
