Hjorring Parish Census Map. The majority of the parishes mentioned are in Horns County. Else Jeppesdatter was the maternal grandmother of Anders Jensen who was the father of Nicolena who married Charles Frederick Nelson. In the following post I have found all the children listed on familysearch.org except one, Marie, born March 19, 1795 supposedly listed in the Flade register. I think many of the children die but again am only able to find one death record.
Birth, Aasted Parish, page 57. Else is born to Jep Jensen? and Anne Jensdatter and is christened December 4, 1763. I cannot find her husband's birth record but the 1787 census puts him being born around 1754.
Marriage, Aasted parish, page 158. On October 4, 1783, Christen Nielsen (?) and Else Jeppesdatter are married.
Birth, Gaerum parish, page 351. On the top of the page Anne is born to Christen ? and Else Jeppesdatter in January of 1784.
Birth, Gaerum parish, page 352. Anne Catherine is born to Christen Nielsen and Else Jeppesdatter in 1785. The left side of the page is lost so I'm not sure what month or day she was christened. The end of the paragraph says July 19 which may be her birthdate.
Birth, Gaerum parish, page 353. Niels is born or christened to Christen Nielsen and Else on December 2, 1786.
1787 Gaerum parish census, page 3. Christen Nielsen is 33. Else Jeppesdatter is 24. Anne is 3, Cathrine is 2 and Niels is 1. Also living with them is Jens Nielsen, Christen's brother.
Birth, Gaerum parish, page 353. Karen is born or christened July 6, 1788.
Birth, Gaerum parish, page 134. Jeppe is born April 6, 1791.
Death, Gaerum parish, page 247. Christen Nielsen's son Jeppe dies July 1, 1791.
Birth, Gaerum parish register, page 134. On the same page as Jeppe's birth is Maren, the last entry, born May 6, 1792. They did have a Karen that was born in 1788 so she may have died though I cannot find a death record for her.
Birth, Gaerum parish register, page 137. Karen is born in June of 1794.
Birth, Flade parish register, page 23. The family has not moved as they are in Kioret (sp?) where all of their other children have been born but they entry is in a different parish for whatever reason. Kirsten is born or christened March 24, 1796.
Birth, Gaerum parish register, page 140. Maria is born March 19, 1797.
Birth, Gaerum parish register, page 142. Christiane is born Mar 14, 1799. This would be the last child born to the couple as in the 1801 census Else is listed as a widow so Christen Nielsen dies between 1799 and 1801.
1801 Gaerum parish census, page 11. Else is living in Kjaeret but is now a widow. She is living with another couple. Her only two children living with her are Anne Cathrine, 15, and Christiane, age 2.
Death, Gaerum parish register, page 157. The widow Else Jeppesdatter dies November 16, 1816. She was the wife of Christen Nielsen and was 53 years old.
