1st child of Niels Rasmussen and Ane Marie: Ane Nielsen

Marriage, Vester Velling parish register, page 146.  Ane Nielsdatter of Lille Thorup, age 30 marries Jens Peder Nielsen of Thorup, age 41.  Jens Peder Nielsen had been married previously.  The date is January 23, 1875.  Witnesses are Laust Nielsen and Jens Sorensen of Arendt.  Two entries after the priest begins to put in the birthdays of the individuals.  As you'll see in the next few images, I'm confident this is our Ane Nielsen but darn it would have been nice to have her birthday there to prove it definitively.  I've searched the Vester Velling parish register around 1844 and there is one other Ane Nielsdatter born in 1845 but she was an Ane Kirstine.  The Ane in this marraige record is from Lille Thorup and in the 1870 census I know our Ane was still living in Lille Thorup with her parents.  

Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 7.  Edvard Laurids Nielsen is born October 7, 1875 and christened December 26, 1875 in the church.  Ane was 31 1/2 years old and the couple was living in Sonder Vinge.  Witnesses included Mette Nielsdatter (Ane had a sister named Mette Andrea who I will discuss in a future post using the 1901 Vester Velling census, page 219) of Lille Thorup, Jens Nielsen of Oster Velling (Ane's brother was named Jens and I've found a Jens Nielsen in the Oster Velling 1880 census aged 34, born in Vester Velling parish, putting his birth year at 1846 which was the right birth year for her brother).  

 Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 50.  Marie Sofie Nielsen is born November 18, 1876 and christened November 24.  No witnesses in the church are listed because Marie passes away prior to this event.

 Death, Sonder Vinge parish, page 145.  Marie Sofie dies February 20, 1877 and is buried February 25.    She was 3 months old.

  Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 14.  Jens Christian Nielsen is born December 12, 1877.  Ane was 33 3/4 years old.  Witnesses included Dorthe Rasmine Nielsen of Lille Thorup (Ane's sister was Dorthe Rasmine).

 Birth, Sonder Vinge parish register, page 18.  Niels Peder Nielsen (the second entry) is born May 3, 1879 and christened June 29.  Ane was 35 at the time.  Witnesses included Birgitte Nielsen of Lille Thorup (Ane had a sister that was named Johanne Birgitte and went by Birgitte as I'll show in a future post in the 1901 Vester Velling census, page 288).

1880 Sonder Vinger parish census, page 15.  Last entries are Jens Peter, age 46, and Ane, age 35.  Jense Peter was a bricklayer.  He was born in Hjermine parish.  Ane was born in Sonder Vinge.  They are living in the town of Sonder Vinge.   

1880 Sonder Vinge parish census, page 16.  The children are listed at the top of the page.  Edvard Laurits Nielsen was 4, Niels Christian was 2, and Niels Peter was under one years old.  I cannot find the family after this.  They are not in the 1890 census and there are no more births for the family through 1891 in the register.  Their deaths are also not listed.  I'm hoping to find them at the nieces and nephews births listed in the witness column and the parish where she is from....so we're not done with this family...
