 Birth, Horby parish register, page 99.  Rasmine Christine Andreasen is born November 7, 1852 to the unmarried Nicoline Rasmusdatter and the father Andreas Christensen of Mosenhuus.  She is christened December 26.

 Marriage, Horby parish register, page 172.  Andreas age 21 1/2, and Nicolene, age 24, are married October 9, 1855.

 Birth, Torslev parish register, page 98.  Trine Andreasen is born June 21, 1856.  It appears that Andreas's father Christen Jensen is present.

 Birth, Torslev parish register, page 12.  Jens Christian Andreasen is born December 10, 1858 and christened January 2, 1859.  I believe two brothers of Andreas are present including Anders and Jens.

 1860 Torslev Census, page 17.  Andreas is 26 born in Horby and is listed as a baptist along with his wife Nicolene age 28 born in Lendum parish.  Listed are their three children Rasmine, age 8 born in Horby, as well as Trine, age 4, and Jens Christian, age 2.  They children are listed as Lutheran.

 Birth, Torslev parish register, page 29.  Carl Christian Andreasen is born February 9, 1862.  There is no christening date listed.

Birth, Torslev parish register, page 64.  Caroline is born March 11, 1865.  There is no christening date listed for her as well.  I cannot find the family in the 1870 or 1880 Torslev census.  I do not know what happens to them and cannot find deaths for them listed in the Torslev parish registers or the surrounding  parishes.

Christian Christensen: One of Ander's older brothers

 Marriage, Byrum parish register, page 129.  Christian Christensen, 23 of Byrum parish marries the woman Gjertrud Hollet Clausdatter, 29, of Byrum parish.  Present are her father, Claus Andersen Skibsted and Peder Poulsen.  The date is February 21, 1851.

 1860 Byrum census, page 6.  Christian is 33, Gjertrud is 38.  This census document was how I found Christian as it stated he was born in Horby which put his birth year around 1827-1828.  I did check the Horby parish register and found two other Christians--one born in 1824, the second in 1831 so I felt semi-confident this was the right Christian.  The children listed are as above.  Claus, Gjertrud's father, is living with them and is 83 and was born in Skibsted parish in Aalborg county putting his birth year around 1777.

 Birth, Byrum parish register, page 88.  Christiane Christiansen is the last entry on the page and the sixth child, born February 17, 1861.

 Birth, Byrum parish register, page 56.  The last child in the family and entry #2 is Mette Kirstine Christiansen born exactly 2 years after Christiane on February 17, 1863.

Inger Christensdatter Family: Sister to Anders

 1860 Skaeve Cenus, page 11.  I had given up on finding anything more about Inger but then stumbled across her family in the 1860 census.  Here she is listed with her husband Thomas Chr. Nielsen, age 38, Inger Christensdatter, age 35, Niels Chr. Thomsen, 8, Christian Thomsen, 3, and Thomas's mother Kirsten Pedersdatter, age 70 and a widow.  Inger is born in Horby, Thomas in Skaeve, Niels in Torslev, and Christian in Skaeve.  Kirsten, the widow, was also born in Skaeve.  The documents below are for her and her husbands family.

Christen Jensen Family; Inger and Marianne Christensdatter

1834 Horby Census, page 24.  Christen Jensen's family is the second from the bottom of the page in beautiful cursive.  They are family #6 in Hedekuset?.  Christen is 40.  Christiane Christensdatter is 37.  Niels, the second oldest is 12, Inger is 9, Christian is 7, and Else is 3.

    1840 Horby Census, page 19.  Family #4 on the census.  Christen is 46, Christianne is 41, Niels is 18, Inger is 15, Christian is 12, Else is 7, Andreas is 6, Anders is 4, and Marianna is 1.

1845 Horby Census, page 25.  The only family on the page at "Mosenshuus."  Christen is 51, Christianne is 47, Else is 14, Andreas is 11, Anders is 9, Marianna is not listed, and Thomas is 3.  Christianne was born in Flade.

1850 Horby Census, page 21.  Again the family is listed at "Mosenshuus."  Christen is 56, Christianne is 52, Anders is 14, and Thomas is 8.  Christen was born in Horby.  

 1855 Horby Census, page 19.  The family is listed as #23.  Christen is 61, Christianne is 57, Thomas is 13.  There are two other people living with the family--Nicolena Rasmussdatter, age 24, and her daughter Rasmine Andersen, age 3.  I wonder if this is the wife and daughter of Anders???

1860 Horby Census, page 17.  Interesting census with Christen Jensen listed on the right page, fourth family from the bottom.  Christen is 66 and listed as married with a birthplace listed in Karrup.  Thomas is living with him and is 18.  Christianne is not listed and in our family records she died in 1865.  

 Confirmation, Horby parish registers, page 145.  Inger is the last entry on the page and the only way I could verify that it was her is that it lists her birthdate as March 31, 1825.  Her parents names are not legible.  I cannot find a death record or marriage record for Inger in the census through 1862 in Horby.  Inger is the third oldest child in the family.  

Death, Horby parish register, page 246.  Marianne Christensen dies June 15, 1842 and is buried on June 19.  She is the daughter of Christen Jensen from Mosenshuus and was 2 1/2 years old.  No cause of death is listed.

Niels Christensen: 2nd oldest in Christen Jensen's family

Gerum 1845 Census, page 7.  Niels Christensen born in Karup parish is listed as a farm hand.  He is 23 years old.  This fits Niels who is the only one with that name born in that parish at that time.  I cannot find anymore information about him as the parish census documents have not been transcribed completely after 1850.  Perhaps he'll show up at the birth of a nephew or neice.
