Abigail Andersdatter, Middelfart

[Brian Gaber]

Hello, I am looking for information about this family:

Abigail Andersdatter, born 1815 in Brunlanes, Vestfold Norway.

After her husband died, Abigail left Norway for Middelfart, Denmark, on 6 Nov 1882.

Her daughter, Bolette Emilie Gundersdatter, born 10 Mar 1862 in Vestfold, followed her to Middelfart on 1 Sep 1884.

I am looking for any information about Abigail or Bolette after they arrived in Middelfart.

Thank you!

Brian

Hi Bente,

Thank you for the information!  Bolette's father was Gunder Olsen, so that is where the
name Olsen came from.

Can the 1890 census for Denmark be searched online?

Hello Brian,

I find an Abigail Olsen, née Jeppesen, who died 5 Aug. 1888 in Middelfart, 78 years old, widow after sailor H. Olsen. Could it be the person you are looking for?

Hello Inger,

Thank you for your answer.

Abigail was always called "Abigael Andersdatter", she was born 1815, the daughter of Anders Jacobsen.  Her husband was Gunder Olsen, a blacksmith (smed), that died in Norway in 1867.

Abigail Olsen nee Jeppersen was born in Denmark, she is a different person.

Hello Brian,

You're right, it's not your Abigail. My mistake - I should have checked the 1880 census before posting:

Odense, Vends, Middelfart Købstad, Middelfart Købstad, Vestergade, , FT-1880, C6313
Navn:    Alder:    Civilstand:      Stilling i husstanden:      Erhverv:      Fødested:
- - - - -
Hans Olsen   55    Gift   husfader, sømand      Middelfart
Abigail Olsen, F. Jepsen   59    Gift   hans kone      Middelfart
- - - - -

I cannot find Abigail Andersdatter/Andersen/Jacobsen/Jakobsen/Ol(e)sen in the 1890 census for Middelfart Købstad, neither can I find her death in the church records for Middelfart parish before 1 Feb. 1890, when the census was held  ???
