I have a birth record from 1824 that reads "Huse i Hult" (Huult) for the parents
& child "barn i Hult."
Is or was "Hult" a place name and not a village or town?
Best wishes, Rog Nelson
Hello Roger
In his topographic work 'Danmark' (fifth edition, 1924) the Danish J.P. Trap lists a number of houses and farms within Jerslev parish. Among them is Hult / Huult / Huelt / Hoult, apparently first known around 1662.
That 'Huse i Huult' translates into 'houses in Huult' suggests there might have been a number of small houses on the farm ground.

This later drawing may give you an idea of what the place looked like: http://torslev.dk/Lokalhistorie/personer/com01033.htm
Hi Rune, Thank you for the information. You've been a great help!
