I'm trying to find the parents of a Niels Jensen, who died 29 Aug 1794 in Farup, Ribe , age 46(?) I know he married Karen Nielsdatter and they had a daughter Johanne Marie Nielsdatter who was born in Farup, Ribe on 6 July 1783. I am unable to use the 1787 census record...perhaps it would help. Any help you might provide will be appreciated. Thanks, Claude
Hi Claude
At that time Farup was 'divided' in a 'slesvigsk' and a 'kongerigsk' area, and NJ & JMN seem to have lived in the first.
So they are not i the 1787 census.
Confirmations in Farup
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=161684#161684,27166654 right and next page
1760 Karen Nielsd. ibid (Kjerbøl)
1764 Niels Jensen ibid (Fp - Farup)
But I do not see any of them bapt. in Farup 1740-50. They were prob. born somewhere else.
Confirmations of NJ & KN's children

Thanks Ole! Now I have to concentrate a bit on Anders Jensen, who I assume may be Niels brother. Karen remained a widow just two months before remarriage. Did they have military records at that time? If so, perhaps Niels or James had a father's name listed. Just curious. Claude
