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.
