I believe it means that Christen Pedersen was previously married. Peder and Jens are children his 2nd marriage.

It seems you have their marriage in the parish record, opslag 138.  But there it doesn't actually say widower.

You can confirm that it is his second marriage in a column in the census, or abstracted in DDD, 'show details'.
