Rasmus Sorensen Family: Son of Soren Rasmussen.

Birth, Hjermind parish register, page 24. Anne Christensdatter is born March 21, 1847 to Christen Jensen and Anne Nielsdatter. I found Anne's birthday in the census and knew her birth parish was Hjermind. She is Rasmus Sorensen's future wife.


1860 Mammen census, page 10. Last family on the right page is Soren Rasmussen, age 45 and Marie Kirstine Sorensdatter, age 58. Rasmus's brother Jens is 11. I don't know where Rasmus is but does return home.



1870 Mammen parish census, page 14. Near the end of the page is Soren Rasmussen and family. He is 54 and Marie Kirstine is 67. Rasmus is 23, and unmarried.


Marriage, Mammen parish register, page 100. Entry #8, Saddlemaker and farmer, Rasmus Sorensen, age 32, from Mammne Vesterhede marries Ane Christensen, living in Mammen Vesterhede, age 31. This was a first marriage for them both. They are married December 3, 1878. Soren Rasmussen is a witness.


Birth, Mammen parish register, page 36. Ane Marie Kirstine Sorensen is born March 31, 1879 to Saddlemaker Rasmus Sorensen and Ane Christensen who was 31 years old.


1880 Mammen parish census, page 24. Rasmus is 33, Ane is 32, Anne Marie Kirsine is 1. Soren Rasmussen is 65 and Marie Kirstine is 77. Rasmus like his father is now listed in the census as a saddlemaker.


Birth, Mammen parish register, page 10. Entry #7 at the top of the page is Christen Sorensen born July 20, 1881 and christened October 30.


Birth, Mammen parish register, page 12. Soren Sorensen is born September 14, 1882 and christened October 27.

1890 Mammen parish census, page 33. Rasmus is 43, Ane is 42. Ane Marie is 10, Christen 8, Soren 7, Peder Christian 3, and a girl born January 31 is unnamed. Soren Rasmussen is 75 and a widow.


1901 Mammen parish census, page 117. Rasmus Sorensen born February 20, 1846, Ane born March 21, 1847. Peder and Rasmine are the only two children living with Rasmus and Ane. Soren is still alive with birthdate of February 8, 1815 in Hvorslev. Also living with the family is a Marie Elisabeth Andersen, born may 12, 1900.



Death, Mammen parish register, page 48. Death of Rasmus Sorensen, May 27, 1906, three years after his father passed away. He was buried June 1. He is entry # 5. He was a farmer and Saddlemaker in Mammen Vesterhede. He was 60 years old. I have not found Ane Christensdatter's death, but have searched the 1911 Mammen census without finding a family member. Also of note, Rasmus had a brother named Jens Sorensen who I have only been able to find in the 1880 Kobberup census. He was single, a 30 year old saddlemaker born in Mammen parish.
