Birth, Torslev parish register, page 57. Mariane Christensen is born July 2, 1859 and christened in the church December 26. Kirsten Christensen of Taars is present among others.
1860 Torslev census, page 27. The family atleast by July 1859 had moved to Torslev from Taars which were neighboring parishes and where Anders had two brothers living as well: Andreas and Jens. Anders is 24, Kirsten Marie is 26. They are listed as Lutheran. They have two children listed: Nicoline, age 3, and Mariane, age 1. Ander's profession is listed but I cannot read the letters. He, according to our family records, was a prosperous brickmaker and tinsmith.
Birth, Torslev parish register, page 69. Ane Johanne Christensen is born January 30, 1862. This record does not have a christening listed and the last column says the parents are Mormon. Which, according to the census and this records, means they joined the church sometime between 1860 and January of 1862.
Birth, Torslev parish register, page 41. Jens Christian Christensen is born June 8, 1864. Anders and Kirsten Marie are living in a place called Bodkerbjerg(?). There is no christening and the parents are listed as Mormon.
Death, Torslev parish register, page 47. Ane Johanne Christensen passes away April 18, 1865 and is buried April 25. Her father was Anders Christensen of Bodkerbjerg. She was 3 years old.
Death, Torslev parish register, page 31. Jens Christian Christensen passes away March 31, 1866 and is buried April 7. In the last column as in the previous death record, the word Mormon is seen. He was 1 3/4 years old. I've found the boat "The Kenilworth" that the family came over to the United states with. It left in May of 1866 which means that they would have buried their little boy and very shortly left for Utah.
