I have looked under every rock in Denmark for my ancestor Christen Madsen (Christen Madsen Börring, Christen Madsen Ladefoged) to find his birth, but after 15 years, still no luck. He was born abt. 1756/1760. I know he married Ane Margrethe Olsdatter 4 Oct 1795 in Eggeslevmagle, where he was ladefoged for Gerdrup & Lyngbygaard estates. He had 3 children there in 1796, 1798 and 1800 and then moved to Sobjerg in Skellebjerg where he was a husmand. He had another 3 children there. He died in Skellebjerg in 1829 and his wife in 1848. I have looked in every place called Börring including Bornholm (Borringholm) but cannot find his baptism. He does not appear to be a son of the previous ladefoged of Gerdrup, Mads Jensen Westergaard. My question is, would there be any estate papers for Gerdrup or Lyngbygaard which might have employment details for Christen, which might say where he came from? I would be grateful for any ideas!
Hej Michelle
Jeg regner med at det er ok at skrive på dansk.
Iflg http://www.krabsen.dk/stednavnebase/ (http://www.krabsen.dk/stednavnebase/) findes der et stednavn Børring i Ringkøbing amt:
Børring, Fabjerg Sogn, Skodborg, Ringkøbing
Mellem Børring
Nørre Børring
Sønder Børring
Fødte i Faberg/Gudum sogn https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?bsid=161607#161607,27154334 (https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?bsid=161607#161607,27154334) ca 1755-1760
Der findes flere som bruger efternavnet Børring. Börring, Meelbörring, Nörbörring og Sönderbörring
Jeg har kigget i FT1787 for Faberg, men kan ikke umiddelbart se nogle med efternavnet Børring, så det er måske præsten der for nemheds skyld har tilføjet et stednavn.
Det er godt nok langt fra Sorø, men det er ikke meget længere væk end Bornholm !

Wow!!!
Mange tak, Verner, jeg tror du har fundet ham! Jeg har ikke kigget i disse sogne før. Og der er Qvistgaard familie! Måske er han Christen, søn af Mads Suurkiær. Nu har jeg meget at gøre! And I shall say a quiet thank you to the young boy who brought us together.
mvh

I have looked at that page 3 times and still missed it! He is the father I was hoping for, Mads Jensen Westergaard, former ladefoged of Gerdrup and Lyngbyegaard. Thank you so much Verner. You have solved it!!
