Peder Jensen and Kirsten Pedersdatter Family: Paternal Grandfather to Nicolena Nelson

 Christening, Ugilt parish register, page 108.  Jens Christensen and Sinned or Zinned Nielsdatter christen their son Peder on July 27, 1766.  I do not yet know about Peder's siblings but the records were well preserved in Ugilt.

 Engagement and Marriage, Ugilt parish register, page 252.  On June 12 it appears that a Peder Jensen and Kirsten Pedersdatter are betrothed.  They are both from Melbech.  They are married July 22.

 Christening, Taars parish register, page 99.  Jens Pedersen is christened September 30, 1792 in the Taars parish.  Jens's family is discussed in the prior post as he is the father of Nicolena.  He was born in the village of Grosdall?.  Jens Christensen (grandfather) is not listed in those present and must have died by this time.

 Christening, Ugilt parish register, page 281.  The family has moved back to Ugilt parish and have a daughter who is christened April 26, 1795.  She does not live beyond 1801 because she is not listed in the census for the family at that time.  Her name is the top right corner and I think it is Zinne who would have been the name of Peder Jensen's mother.

 Christening, Ugilt parish register, page 15.  Christen Pedersen is born and christened in June of 1798.  The exact day is not legible.  He is the last of three children that I can find for Peder and Kirsten.

1801 Taars parish register, page 3.  Peder (last name is Broen) and Kirsten Pedersdatter are 36 and 40 years old respectively.  Jens is 8 and Christen is 3.  Sinned is not listed and must have passed away.  

 1834 Taars parish census, page 29.  Peder Jensen Broen (?) age 68 and his wife Kirsten Pedersdatter (age 75) are living with their son Christen Pedersen age 37 and his wife Maren Laursdatter, age 36.  Christen and Maren have 4 children Laurs Peter Christensen (11), Peder Christensen (4), Ane Marrete Christensdatter (9), and Kirsten Christensdatter (1).  They are family #28.

 1840 Taars Census, page 20.  Peder Jensen (74) and Kirsten Pedersdatter (80) are living in Taars parish.  Their lot is named Et Hu? Broen.  Christen Pedersen and family is not there anymore.  Maren, his wife, I think passed away on May 3, 1840 and I will look for that family at another time.

1845 Taars parish census, page 36.  Family #14 is Peder Jensen Broen, age 78 and Kirsten Pedersdatter, age 84.  They were both born in Ugilt.  They are living in the village of Sessing.

 Death, Taars parish register, page 132.  Kirsten Pedersdatter passes away February 22, 1845 and is buried March 2.  Her husband was Peder Broen of Sessing.  She was 84.

 1850 Taars parish census, page 26.  In Sessing, Peder Jensen is 83 and a widow who was born in Ugilt.  He is living with Ane Kathrine Jensdatter (31) and Kirstine Marie Jensen (5) both born in Torslev.

Death, Taars parish register, page 222.  Peder Jensen dies October 20th and is buried October 30th.  The record reports that he lived in Sessing and was 92 years old.  He was born in Ugilt and his father was Jens Christensen.
