Christen Sorensen Family

Marriage, Hjermind parish register, page 69. Christen Sorensen of Vindum marries Anne Marie Jorgensdatter of Hjermind parish. Witnesses are hard to make out. The marriage is December 6, 1823. I've looked for Anne Marie's birth and unfortunately there are two Anne Marie's---one is from a large family and the other an illigitamate child---both around the same age in this parish in the 1801 census.

Birth, Hjermind parish register, page 13. Soren Christensen is born April 24, 1824. I can't decipher the names of any witnesses.

Deaths, Vindum parish register, page 247. This document details the deaths of three of the four living children for Christen and Anne Marie. Jens Christensen dies May 8, 1833 (1 3/4 years). Niels Christian Christensen dies May 18, 1833 (4 months), and Jorgen Christensen dies May 24, 1833 ( 4 1/2 years). No cause of death is listed. There was likely some contagion at this time as Herman Hvam (Christen's brother) also lost several children this same month.

Death, Vindum parish register, page 253. Niels Christian Christensen dies March 17, 1841 and is buried Marcy 24. He was 1 year and 2 months. I cannot imagine the grief of Anne Marie.

Whatever the cause of death, which is unknown, she was a women acquainted with grief. The only three remaining from this poor family are three sons: Soren, Jens Jorgen, and Peder.

1845 Vindum parish census, page 15. I incude this census document to show that there was a young 8 year old boy living with Herman Hvam (Christen's brother) and his wife named Peder Christensen, who is probably Christen's son. Soren would have been 21 years old at this time, and Jens Jorgen would have been 11.
