Niels Christensen: 2nd oldest in Christen Jensen's family

Gerum 1845 Census, page 7.  Niels Christensen born in Karup parish is listed as a farm hand.  He is 23 years old.  This fits Niels who is the only one with that name born in that parish at that time.  I cannot find anymore information about him as the parish census documents have not been transcribed completely after 1850.  Perhaps he'll show up at the birth of a nephew or neice.
