Hans Pedersen and Johanne Jacobsdatter Deaths (Father to Jacob Hansen)

Death, Hoje Taastrup parish register, page 92.  Hans Pedersen dies October 18, 1869.  He was 60 years old.

Death, Hoje Taastrup parish register, page 263.  Johanne Pedersen (born Jacobsdatter) dies March 17, 1879.  She was 76 years old.  By this time Jacob Hansen had joined the LDS church and gone to America.  Their second son Peder Hansen is found in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 census, but I cannot find him after that.  I have search through the death records in Hoje Taastrup through 1891 and have expanded my census search through all of Copenhagen county to no avail.

Hans Pedersen (Great grandfather of Afton Hansen) and Johanne Jacobsdatter....eventually!

Birth, Hoje Tastrup parish register, page 232.  Margrethe is born to the unmarried Maren Olesdatter in July 1 (?) of 1821.  The writing underneath the birth mentions Niels Nielsen, farmer, whom she would later marry and in the 1834 census she is listed as his step daughter.   There is a Niels Jacobsen who works for Niels Nielsen who is listed in the record who is the biological father. You'll see how these people, and others, tie together with Hans Pedersen and Johanne Jacobsdatter.    

Marriage, Hoje Tastrup parish register, page 185.  Niels Nielsen, aged 23 (b. 1801) marries Maren Olesdatter, age 19 (b. 1804), father Ole Pedersen of Klotofte December 3, 1824.
