Zidsel Jeppsdatter

[Jason Record]

Using http://www.sa.dk/ao/SoegeSider/Kirkeboeger.aspx, I'm trying to find Zidsel Jeppsdatter and her family.  She appears as mother to Anders Andersen in

     1814-1821, Ål, Vester Horne, Ribe, Opslag 5  (Ander's birth)
     1822-1833, Ål, Vester Horne, Ribe, Opslag 61 (Ander's confirmation)

I found a Zidsel in a 1787 census (landsogn) in Nordby, Skast, Ribe, Opslag 6, family 69.  Her father is Jeppe Jensen, and if this is her she would have had Anders around age 43 which is definitely plausible.

Does anyone else think this is the same Zidsel I'm looking for?

Hi Jason

Opslag 5 reveals that Anders Andersen's mother Zidsel Jep(pe)sdatter is unmarried and that his father is 'ungkarl' (bachelor) Anders Andersen from Kokspang in Hostrup parish.
Among the 'faddere' (sponsors) are Niels Jepsen and Maren Jepsdatter from V(ester) Vrøgum. And they are siblings to Zidsel, notice the census 1801:

Ribe, Vester Horne, Aal, Vester Vrøgum Bye, , 4, FT-1801, b5354
Navn: Alder: Civilstand: Stilling i husstanden: Erhverv: Fødested:
Jeppe Nielssen 32  Gift huusbonde bonde og gaardbeboer  (farmer and farm-resident)
Abelone Pedersdatter 38  Gift hans kone  (his wife) 
Zidsel Jepsdatter 8  Ugift deres børn   
Niels Jepsen 7  Ugift deres børn   
Maren Jepsdatter 5  Ugift deres børn

So no doubt she is a daughter of Jeppe Nielsen and Abelone Pedersdatter in V.Vrøgum.

Most kindly
Ole

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.  Thank you very much.
