Inger Christensdatter Family: Sister to Anders

 1860 Skaeve Cenus, page 11.  I had given up on finding anything more about Inger but then stumbled across her family in the 1860 census.  Here she is listed with her husband Thomas Chr. Nielsen, age 38, Inger Christensdatter, age 35, Niels Chr. Thomsen, 8, Christian Thomsen, 3, and Thomas's mother Kirsten Pedersdatter, age 70 and a widow.  Inger is born in Horby, Thomas in Skaeve, Niels in Torslev, and Christian in Skaeve.  Kirsten, the widow, was also born in Skaeve.  The documents below are for her and her husbands family.



Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 138.  Niels Thomsen is born December 9, 1772 to Thomas Andersen and Johanne Madsdatter.  Niels is the father of Thomas Christian Nielsen who would marry Inger.


Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 36.  Kirsten Pedersdatter is born August 5, 1792 to Peder Christensen and Kirstern Christensdatter.  She is the future wife of Niels Thomsen and would marry him and be 20 years his junior.


Marriage, Skaeve parish register, page 112.  Second listed marriage in 1819 is Niels Thomsen and Kirsten Pedersdatter.  Niels was 46 and this was possibly his second marriage???  Kirsten is 26.  The date was February 27, 1819.



Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 13.  Thomas Nielsen is born June 10, 1819 to Niels and Kirsten.

Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 7.  Thomas Christian Nielsen is born to Niels and Kirsten on August 5, 1821.   Thomas will grow up and marry Inger.

Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 77.  Kirsten Marie Nielsdatter is born September 13, 1827 to Niels and Kirsten.  She is the last of the children that I've found in the registers.

Death, Skaeve parish register, page 233.  Niels Thomsen dies February 4, 1841 and is buried February 14.  He was 69 years old.

Marriage, Torslev parish register, page 7.  Thomas Christian Nielsen, age 30, and Inger Christensdatter, age 26 are married April 7?, 1852.  Christen Jensen of Mosenhuus is present (Inger's father).  Inger's birth has been documented in a prior post.

Birth, Torslev parish register, page 34.  Niels Christian Thomsen is born May 29, 1852 to Thomas and Inger.  

Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 87.  Kirsten Marie Thomsen is born January 19, 1855.  Inger was 30.

Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 90.  Kirsten Marie is born January 24, 1856 and is given the same name as her sister who preceded her in death.


Death, Skaeve parish register, page 54.  Kirsten Marie dies February 19, 1856, less than one month after she was born.

 Birth, Skaeve parish register, page 47.  Christian Thomsen is born June 29, 1857.  He is listed on the 1860 Census in the first part of the post.

Christen Jensen Family; Inger and Marianne Christensdatter


1834 Horby Census, page 24.  Christen Jensen's family is the second from the bottom of the page in beautiful cursive.  They are family #6 in Hedekuset?.  Christen is 40.  Christiane Christensdatter is 37.  Niels, the second oldest is 12, Inger is 9, Christian is 7, and Else is 3.

    1840 Horby Census, page 19.  Family #4 on the census.  Christen is 46, Christianne is 41, Niels is 18, Inger is 15, Christian is 12, Else is 7, Andreas is 6, Anders is 4, and Marianna is 1.

1845 Horby Census, page 25.  The only family on the page at "Mosenshuus."  Christen is 51, Christianne is 47, Else is 14, Andreas is 11, Anders is 9, Marianna is not listed, and Thomas is 3.  Christianne was born in Flade.

1850 Horby Census, page 21.  Again the family is listed at "Mosenshuus."  Christen is 56, Christianne is 52, Anders is 14, and Thomas is 8.  Christen was born in Horby.  

 1855 Horby Census, page 19.  The family is listed as #23.  Christen is 61, Christianne is 57, Thomas is 13.  There are two other people living with the family--Nicolena Rasmussdatter, age 24, and her daughter Rasmine Andersen, age 3.  I wonder if this is the wife and daughter of Anders???


1860 Horby Census, page 17.  Interesting census with Christen Jensen listed on the right page, fourth family from the bottom.  Christen is 66 and listed as married with a birthplace listed in Karrup.  Thomas is living with him and is 18.  Christianne is not listed and in our family records she died in 1865.  

 Confirmation, Horby parish registers, page 145.  Inger is the last entry on the page and the only way I could verify that it was her is that it lists her birthdate as March 31, 1825.  Her parents names are not legible.  I cannot find a death record or marriage record for Inger in the census through 1862 in Horby.  Inger is the third oldest child in the family.  

Death, Horby parish register, page 246.  Marianne Christensen dies June 15, 1842 and is buried on June 19.  She is the daughter of Christen Jensen from Mosenshuus and was 2 1/2 years old.  No cause of death is listed.
