Jens and Ole Johansen: The last two brothers of Anne Johansdatter

Birth, Gjerning parish register, page 73. Mariane Pedersdatter is born May 18, 1799 and christened June 9. Her father was Peder Pedersen of Gjerning.

Marriage, Gjerning parish register, page 101. The top entry on the page shows that Jen Johansen of Hvorslev, age 23, marries Mariane Pedersdatter of Gjerning, age 23 on January 25, 1823. I have yet to find the birth of Jen Johansen as I have for his wife Marianne. I assume that he was born in Houlbjerg as the other children in his family were.

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 31. Jens and Mariane have moved to Hvorslev and have their first child, Johan Jensen April 19, 1823. He was christened June 8.

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 30. Birgitte Kirstine Jensdatter is born February 4, 1825 and christened April 17 in the church. Rasmus Nielsen is one of the witnesses. Rasmus married Anne who was the brother of Jens.

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 47. Peder Jensen is born May 20, 1827 and christened July 11 or 17.
Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 134. Sadly, and at the young age of 29 1/2 years old, Jens Johansen dies February 24, 1829. His first name is not well seen. He was buried March 3. As far as I can tell, no cause of death is listed.

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 52. Jens Jensen, named after his deceased father is born July 7, 1829 and chirstened July 26. Marianne is listed as a widow.

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 1829. I have posted the birth of Ole Johansen in a prior post. Apparently after the death of his brother, he marries his widow Marianne Pedersdatter of Hvorslev, age 30. He is 27 years old and this is his first marriage. They are married November 7, 1829. I'm curious to know what all the writing is in the columns after the marriage date.

Birth, Hvorslev parish register, page 55. The last entry on the page is the birth of Rasmus Olesen to Ole and Mariane. He was born May 1, 1831 and christened in the church June 12. Envold Pedersen is listed as one of the witnesses and was the husband of Ole's oldest sister Else.
Deaths, Hvorslev parish register, page 138. As if Mariane wasn't sad over the death of her first husband, Rasmus Olesen dies July 16, 1832 and is buried July 22. He was 1 1/3 years old. Thirteen days later, Ole Johansen, Mariane's second husband, dies on July 29 and is buried on August 5. He was 30 years old.

Marriage, Hvorslev parish register, page 100. Mariane Pedersdatter marries Jens Mikkelsen, April 2, 1833. Jens was 33 and from Brorup. Mariane was 34. I think this was Jens first marriage, Mariane is listed as a widow.

1834 Hvorslev census, page 5. Jens Mikkelsen is 34, Mariane is 35. Jens is a small landowner. Living with them are Mariane's children from her first marriage: Johan is 11, Peder is 7, Jens is 5, and Birgithe Kirstine is 9. Living with them also is a 71 year old widow Birgithe Kjerstine Jensdatter who is Jen's and Ole's mother.

1840 Hvorslev census, page 5. Marianne is 41 years old. Her husband Jens is away working/serving? in Vellev parish. Her children living with her are Peder, age 13, Jens, age 11, and Ole Jensen, age 4. Ole is a child from her marriage to Jens. The widow Birth Kjerstine Jensdatter is 77.

1845 Hvorslev census, page 9. Mariane is 46. Her husband is away, but this time in Ulstrup. Mariane's birthplace was Gjerning. Ole Jensen is 9. Birthe Kirstine, age 20 and a weaver girl. This would be the right age for the daughter but it does not identify her as such. Birthe Kirstine Jensdatter, age 82, is still living with them.

1850 Hvorslev parish census, page 6. Marianne is 51. Her son Ole is 14. Birth Kirstine Jensdatter, the widow, is now 90 years old. No mention of her husband Jens.

1860 Hvorslev parish census, page 6. Mariane is now 61 and living with her third child, Peder Jensen, age 34. Peder's wife, Ane Christiansdatter is 41. They have four children, Mariane Pedersen, age 7, Maren Pedersen, age 6, Marie Pedersen, age 4, and Jenssine Pedersen, age 1.

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 209. Jens Mikkelsen dies May 20, 1869 and is buried May 27. He was born in Brorup and was 70 years old. His marriage record said he was from Brorup as well.

1870 Hvorslev parish census, page 24. Mariane Pedersen is 70 years old and a widow. She is still living with her sone Peder, age 42 and his wife Ane, age 49. Living with Peder and Ane are their children Mariane, age 16, Jensine, age 10, Christine, age 9, and a boy Jens Christian Pedersen, age 7. Of note, Ane was born in Hvorslev.

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 141. Mariane dies at the age of 74 on September 20, 1872 and is buried September 27. She was born in Gjerning and her father's name was Peder Pedersen.
