Christen Jensen and Christianne Christensdatter Family: Grandfather to Nicolena

Hjorring County Map.  This map details where Nicolena's family was from in Denmark.  This county is in the Northeast uppermost part of Jutland.  

Birth, Horby parish register, page 33.  Christen is born to Jens Christensen and Inger Larsdatter in Wollen.  Our records indicate he was born May 18.  At the end of the paragraph it reads that he was introduced into the church June 7.  Christen would go on to marry Christianne Christensdatter from Flade parish.  Our records indicate the marriage date was 12/28/1817 but I cannot find this in the Flade register.  
Birth, Torslev parish register, page 9.  Jens Christensen is born to Christen and Christianne in 1819 (I can't make out the date). Our records say July 31 but that was the day he was christened.  

  Birth, Karup parish register, page 4.  Niels is born August 10, 1822.  

Birth, Horby parish register, page 61.  Inger Christensdatter is born March 31, 1825.  

Birth, Horby parish register, page 27.  Christian Christensen is born January 23, 1828.  
Birth, Horby parish register, page 70.  Else Christensdatter is born August 1, 1831.  

Birth, Horby parish register, page 3.  Andreas Christensen is born March 1, 1834.  In new family search his records had been combined with his younger brother Anders so I attempted to set the record straight.  


Birth, Horby parish register, page 9.  Anders Christian Christensen is born October 12, 1836.  


 Birth, Horby parish register, page 76.  Marianne Christensen is born December 21, 1839.

Birth, Horby parish register, page 18.  Thomas Christensen is born August 30, 1842.  The last of the brood.
