Nicoline's Family


Birth, Lendum parish register, page 62.  Andreas's future wife is born Nicoline Rasmusdatter on June 4, 1831.  Her mother's name is Trine Larsdatter and she is not married.  The father's name is Rasmus Soresne born in B? parish.  I find her in the 1834 census where she is living with her father.  Trine is 26, unmarried and Nicoline is 3 and unbaptized.  Trine's father Lars Christian Jepsen is 64 is divorced (fraskilt) and is a Smith.  I find Nicoline in the Lendum 1845 census as a "service servant" (tjenestetyende) living with a different family and she is 14.  In the 1840 Census she is living with her mom Trine, who is 32, Nicolene is 10 and there's a second child listed as hers:  Lars Christian Christensen, age 2.  Trine is still unmarried.
