Jens Johansen and Marianne Pedersdatter's Children

Death, Hvorslev parish register, page 197. Johan Jensen passes away at the age of 14 1/2 years on January 23, 1838. He is buried January 28. His father is listed as Jens Johansen. No cause of death is listed.

Confirmation, Hvorslev parish register, page 122. Birgitte Kirstine Jensdatter is confirmed in 1839. She would have been 14 years old. Her father is Jens Johansen and mother Marianne Pedersdatter. From this record between the last one following, I find her in the 1834 Hvorslev census (age 9), 1840 Gerning census (age 15), 1845 Hvorslev census (age 20) living with her mother, 1850 Vellev census (age 25). I find her in several arrival and departure lists. She is not married in any record.

Arrival List, Langaa parish, page 49. Birgitte Kirstine Jensdatter arrives in Langaa parish from Hvorslev in 1858. It states she left Hvorslev on May 9. She is going to be a house girl. This is the last I can find of her...I do not see her on the departure lists for Langaa through 1867, nor do I find a marriage or death record of her past this point in time.
