If you do the math, you have one best guess:

aarhus, Hasle, Aarhus Købstad, Schidengyde, 150, 132, FT-1801, B3333
Navn:    Alder:    Civilstand:    Stilling i husstanden:    Erhverv:    Fødested:
Maren Jensdatter   54   Enke(mand)   husmoder   spinder   
Søren Hansen   14   Ugift   hendes søn   murmesterdreng   
Jens Hansen   19   Ugift   hendes søn   murmesterdreng   

Unless the parish made some effort to get payment or acknowledgement, it is still uncertain.

Thanks Ralph.  It could well be Søren Hansen but, as you as a genealogist know, circumstantial evidence is not enough to add someone to the family tree.

Sincerely,
Paul

Agreed.  A wisp to chase, not a name to add.  It seems that many trees are puffed up with probables.

I have one ancestor, Jørgen Jørgensen, who, according to strong circumstantial evidence, seemed to be the illegitimate son of Jørgen Steensen Brahe, a noble.  However a Dane found a 1651 court record that said he was the son of the esteemed Jørgen Kjeldsen.  Some much for my noble blood.
