Jens Jensen Family: Son of Jens Johansen

Birth, Gjern parish register, Skenderborg county, page 55. Ane Sophie Jensen is born March 5, 1833 to Jens Pedersen and Johanne Sorensdatter of Norup. Ane Sophie is the future wife of Jens Jensen. Jens birth is documented in a prior post and was born July 7, 1829 in Hvorslev and was confirmed in 1844 (page 104 Hvorslev parish register). In 1857 Ane Sophie arrives from Sall parish and her husband is listed as Jens Jensen (page 9, Arrival list, Hvorslev parish register).

Marriage, Sall parish register, page 159. Jens Jensen of Hvorslev, age 27, marries Ane Sophie Jensen of Sall, age 23 years. This was the first marriage for both. They are married December 12, 1856. Niels Sorensen and Peder Jensen (I assume this is his brother). Jens is found in Hvorslev in the 1834, 1840, and 1845 Census's. He is in Sonder Vinge in 1850. I found them in the arrival list to Hvorslev in 1857 from Sall and that is how I found their marriage record. Sall is a ways from Ane Sophie's birthplace, but nonetheless they get together.

Their oldest Mariane is 9, Jens Johan is 6, Hanne Laurs or Laura is 4, a Jens is 3 (I'm not sure who this is because the Jens they have was born between Mariane and Jens Johan), and Anton Jensen, who is 1.
