Birth, Tolne parish register, page 41. Karen Marie is born February 14, 1821 to Johannes Jensen and Maren Andersdatter. She is the future wife of Jens Christensen.
Confirmation, Horby parish register, page 125. Jens Christensen is confirmed in Horby parish in 1834. His father is Christen Jensen. He was born July 31, 1819 in Torslev.
Marriage, Tolne parish register, page 97. Jens Christensen, age 26 years, marries Karen Marie Johansdatter, age 24. Witnesses were Jens Jensen of Hormestad parish and Anders Jensen of Bransh? on December 26, 1845.
Birth, Tolne parish register, page 55. Maren Kirstine is born March 29, 1846 to Jens Christiansen and Karen Marie Johansdatter of Bremsholt? Witnesses were Anders Jensen of Bremsholt, Ane Pedersdatter of ? and Mads Christian Christiansen.
Birth, Mygdal parish register, page 49. Christine Jensdatter is born in December of 1847 (I can't make out the date but it looks like the 25th). Parents were Jens Christiansen and Karen Marie Johansdatter. Witnesses were ???.
1850 Ugilt parish census, page 3. Jens Christensen is 32 (born in Torslev), Karen Marie is 30 (born in Tolne), Maren Kirstine is 4 (Born in Tolne), and Kirstine is 3 (born in Mygdal).
1855 Taars parish census, page 22. Jens is 36, Karen Marie is 34, Maren Kirstine is 9, and Christine is 8. Andreas Christensen, I assume Jens younger brother, is living with them. I have searched the Ugilt, Mygdal and Taars parish registers for more children born to them. Unfortunately I cannot find them in the 1860 census or beyond. In new family search there are two other children: Jens born in 1854 in Taars and Marinus born in 1863 (unknown location). I cannot find either one of these in the parish registers. Maren Kirstine dies in Arizona in St. Johns as does Marinus Christensen. I did contact an individual named James Tanner in Mesa Arizona who pointed me to the blog of his daughter Amy at theancestorfiles.blogspot.com for all the correct documentation. He told me that Jens born in 1854 is incorrect and that this person did not exist. Marinus was likely adopted and was his great great grandfather (James Tanner's) and possibly an illegitimate child of one of the first two daughters but that is his speculation.
