Please type out the entry for the birth of Karen Pedersdatter. It is the first entry in the right column. I am trying to find the name of the mother.

Hi Paul
The morthers name is not mentionend is this record
in 1787 it seems like Peder Jensen is married to a new wife. The Youngest child is 4 years of the 1, Marriage - Named Hans https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-33500-14467-80?cc=2078555&wc=M5KC-MJ6:357517501,358801401,357885701,358861501
therefor I would search af his first wife as dead between 1783 and 1787 - if the could be given there.
Maybe the probate ca be found in Engelsholm gods

The marriage to Maren Hansdatter may be the right marriage but I also found a marriage for a Peder Jensen to Karen Nielsdatter in 1773.

Left column - last entry
The 1787 census says that Peder Jensen is in his 2nd marriage. Would the children still be listed as from the 1st marriage if Maren Hansdatter were the mother?
I live in Minnesota, USA and do not speak Danish and only read a very little Danish. If it were not for online dictionaries and translations I would be completely lost. I have a question about, "Maybe the probate ca be found in Engelsholm gods." How do you find out the correct probate to look for?
Tak for alle jeres hjælp

Hi Paul,
I am from North Carolina and also don't know Danish. I read the groom in the 1773 marriage record as Heming Pedersen and not Peder Jensen. I have looked through the death records and marriage records from 1784-1787 and do not find any related to either Peder Jensen or Maren Hansdatter.

I Think it's a misunderstandig abt the children af first marriage – but i am not sure
Peder Jensen is very common I Denmark – so be carefull.
I also looked for marriages and deaths and didn't find any. The census does list him as having a 2nd marriage, if I am reading it correctly.

If he married Maren Hansdatter in 1772, then the children would have to be hers. She would be my 4th great grandmother. Kirsten Pedersdatter is my 3rd great grandmother.
Thank you again for your help.

Widower Peder Jensen in Loe married the maid Maren Hansdatter of Loe 21st Sunday after Trinity 1772:

Hi Paul,
I had a thought. Since Peter Jensen was 60 years old in the 1787 census and was married twice, and Maren Hansdatter was only 34, perhaps she was his second wife. Normally people remarried within a year of the death of a spouse and so I looked at deaths and found the death related to Peder Jensen in Hammer in 1771, 25th p. Trin., opslag 129. The person who died was 47. Since I don't know Danish I can't be sure this is his wife.
Sincerely,
Paul
It's the wife of Peder Jensen in Loe who died in 1771. Lis already mentioned this:

Hi Paul
Hi
I think that Peder Jensen in Loe (Lov) is the person who looses his wife 1771 and remarry Karen Hansdatter in 1772 and these are the persons we have marriage record for.
I am not so sure that Peder Jensen in Faarup is the same person – and Caren is child of the one in Faarup

tells You where to find probates in Hammer
In the 1787 census, there's only one married Peder Jensen in Hammer parish, the one in Faarup:
http://www.sa.dk/ao/billedviser?bsid=480#480,50458
- and he is married to a Maren Hansdatter.
Inger T.
Dom. 3tia Adv. 1772 Peder Jensen in Faarup has a son baptized, called Jens. The godmother is
Hans Larsen's daughter Zidse in Loe:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-33500-14628-73?cc=2078555&wc=M5KC-MJ6:357517501,358801401,357885701,358861501
Dom. Sexagesima 1774 Peder Jensen in Faarup has a son baptized, called Hans. The godmother is
Hans Larsen's daughter Magrethe in Loe:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1971-33500-14589-83?cc=2078555&wc=M5KC-MJ6:357517501,358801401,357885701,358861501
Hans Larsen from Loe was one of the sponsors at the betrothal of Peder Jensen and Maren Hansdatter in 1772.
Maybe the above Peder Jensen in Faarup is, after all, identical to the groom in the 1772 marriage.
- and maybe the Peder Jensen who lived in Faarup in 1771 moved out of the parish?
Best regards,
Inger T.
The correct Peder Jensen, ostensibly one of the two in 1771, has secured a 'fæste' and is no longer just a laborer.
Does that leave an opening for a third Peder Jensen, associated with whichever manor owned or controlled Faarup?
My ancestor, Jacob Larsen, is from the immediate area, and married Mette Jensdatter af Faarup on November 1, 1765.
Hans Larsen in Loe:
Kilde: OE-1771
Mandens navn: Hans Larsen Mandens erhverv: bonde, driver auling
Mandens alder: 56 Mandens civilstand: Gift
Mandens nr. ægteskab: 1 Mand død (ja/nej): Nej
Hustru død (ja(nej): Nej Hustrus alder: 57
Hustrus civilstand: Gift Hustrus nr. ægteskab: 1
Sogn: Hammer Herred: Hammer
Amt: Præstø Stednavn: Loe Bye
He could possibly be Maren Hansdatter's father. I cannot find him in the 1787 census for Hammer parish.
His or his wife's probate could tell us whether they are the parents of Maren Hansdatter who married
Peder Jensen in 1772, and if so, where the couple settled.
Best regards,
Inger T.
This could be the godmother of Hans b. 1774:

Sidse, Maren and Margrethe are probably sisters.
Inger T.
Thank you for all your help. I only started tracing my Danish ancestors a few years ago and I don't read Danish very well. Without this forum I would never have been able to find any of my Danish ancestors. So, please don't be offended when I tell you I have read and reread all of your postings several times and I am confused. I understand from your postings that there were two possibly three Peder Jensens in Hammer Sogn.
Am I right in assuming the Peder Jensen and Maren Hansdatter that married in 1772 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-33500-14291-87?cc=2078555&wc=M5KC MJ6:357517501,358801401,357885701,358861501
is the same Peder Jensen and Maren Hansdatter listed in the 1787 Census (1787 Danish Census (Peder Jensen) - Præstø, Hammer, Hammer, Hammer Sogn, Faarup Bye, , FT-1787, C6469, Record 483) ?
The listing of the children in that census as being from the 1st marriage is probably a mistake? The children's mother is Maren Hansdatter?
Thank you again for your help. I learn a lot from reading your postings.
Paul
Hi Paul,
I definitely think that the listing of the children in the 1787 census as being from the 1st marriage is an error, and that Maren Hansdatter is their mother.
There are many indications that the couple married in Hammer 1772 is identical with Peder Jensen, 60 y, and Maren Hansdatter, 34 y, in the 1787 census. It seems that Peder Jensen in Loe, whose 1st wife died in 1771, since moved to Faarup with his 2nd wife.
I have not studied the baptisms of all Peder Jensen's children born in Faarup, but the godmothers of the first two children are daughters of Hans Larsen in Loe, who was sponsor for the bride in 1772. And the godmother in 1783 seems to be the same Sidse Hansdatter that was godmother in 1772. There must be a good reason why Hans Henriksen's wife travels from Vejlø parish to act as godmother in Hammer church in Nov. 1783, see http://www.dis-danmark.dk/kort/kortpres.htm
Hopefully, there's a probate after Hans Larsen in Loe, who died 1782, which could clear up the whole thing, mentioning his children, and the husbands of his daughters.
Best regards,
Inger T.
