Truels Mauritzen family. Father of Thomas Soren Truelsen whose daughter married Charles Kelly

 Marriage, Koldby parish register, page 326.  Truels Mauritzen and Kirsten Thomasdatter are married November 1, 1810.
 Birth, Koldby parish register, page 216.  Barbra Truelsdatter is born January 22, 1813.  She is nowhere to be found after in the vaccination section, deaths through 1837, or confirmations.  The records states she dies on January 28 prior to the christening.

 Birth, Koldby parish register, page 229.  Interestingly Thomas Soren Truelsen's birth is recorded in 2 of the parish registers (see image below).  He was born May 30, 1814.


Confirmation, Koldby parish register, page 79.  Thomas Soren's confirmation.

 Birth, Koldby parish register, page 14.  Mauritz, the last on the page, is born October 18, 1816.

Confirmation, Koldby parish register, page 80.  Mauritz is confirmed in 1831.  I can find him in the 1840 Census in Koldby but no more after that.  He was 23 in that census.

 Birth, Koldby parish register, page 53.  Margrethe is born December 6, 1819.

Death, Koldby parish register, page 175.  Margrethe Truelsdatter, the last on the page, dies June 13, 1829 at the age of 10 1/2.

 Birth, Koldby parish register, page 30.  Lauritz is born April 9, 1823.  He is in the 1840 koldby census and is 17 years of age.  His confirmation is in 1837 (see below).  I cannot find him thereafter in the 1845 census, deaths through 1845, or the comings and goings in the Koldby parish through 1845.  There is a Lauritz Truelsen who is married in Copenhagen in 1847 but his age is listed at 31 years and he appears to be from Viborg.

 Confirmation, Koldby parish register, page 85.  Lauritz is confirmed in 1837.  I find him in the 1840 census at the age of 17 living with his parents.  I do not find him after that.

Death, Koldby parish register, page 168.  Troels Mauritzen dies September 6, 1835 in the village of Koldbye.
Death, Koldby parish register, page 311.  Kirstin Thomasdatter dies December 12, 1855.  She was living with Thomas Soren and his wife.  She was 74 years old.
