Ole Johansen: The lost son

Birth, Houlbjerg parish register, page 31. This discovery was awesome. In new family search Johan Clausen and his wife Birgitte Jensdatter are listed as having five children. They have a child name Ole who was born in 1797 and died in 1801. I assumed they then had only four surviving children. As I was searching through the marriage records from their children in the Hvorslev parish register, I noticed that there was a marriage record for Ole Johansen (see below). Since this was such a unique name I at first thought that I was mistaken on Ole's death. I went back to the Houlbjerg parish register and found this record. In 1802 on October 10, an Ole Johansen is born to Johan Clausen and Berret Jensdatter. What genealogic gold! This follows a pattern I've noticed that if a child dies, a subsequent child is given that same name.

Hvorslev parish register, page 98. Marriage of Ole Johansen of Hvorslev, age 27, to Mariane Pedersdatter from Hvorslev, age 30. I cannot make out the names of the witnesses. The date was November 7.
