Thomas Christensen: Last child of Christen Jensen
Marriage, Horby parish register, page 129. Thomas Christensen marries Caroline Frederikke Fuhr on October 27, 1865 in Horby. They are both listed as being from Mosenhuus which is where Thomas was living. Christen Jensen, Thomas's father, passed away in 1862 and therefore would not be listed among the witnesses. This document and the following documents are the only documents I can find on the family. They are listed as Mormons during the births of their last children but I cannot find them on any emigration records as well. I have looked in the Horby census in 1870 and for the departure and arrival records from Horby without any luck. I have looked through the census documents in the surrounding parishes (Torslev, Volstrup, Skaeave, Taars, Albaek, Lendum) in 1870 and Horby in 1880 without any luck either. I know that they were in Denmark through 1872 but that is the last that I can find them. I do not know where Caroline Frederikke Fuhr was born as I cannot find census documents of them documenting her birth place.
Birth, Horby parish census page 9. Christian Christensen is born August 23, 1865. He is the 2nd to last name from the bottom. The mother is Caroline Frederikke ? and Thomas Christensen.
Birth, Horby parish census, page 62. Christine Lottine Christensen is born November 5, 1867 to Thomas Christensen and Caroline Frederikke Fuhr. It also states that the parents are Mormons.
Birth, Horby parish register, page 74. Christiane Frederikke Christensen is born September 6, 1872 to Thomas Christensen and Caroline Frederikke Fuhr. Again the word mormon is seen.
