Missing Else Katrine Jensen

[Jason Record]

I have the birth record for Else Katrine Jensen, but after that she seems to have disappeared.  Can anyone help me find out where she went, where she died, or any information that would help me find out more about her?

She was born 31 March 1846; 1835-1851, Hvirring, Nim, Skanderborg, Opslag 82
Her parents were Jens Andersen and Mette Marie Iversen.  I know that Mette Marie died in the United States in Utah.  Else Katrine may have left with her.

Best Regards,

Hi Jason

Skanderborg, Nim, Hvirring, Trebjerre By, Hus, 58, , FT-1850, B4932
Navn:    Alder:    Civilstand:    Stilling i husstanden:    Erhverv:    Fødested:
Iver Jensen   58    Gift      Ejer af huset husfader   Feuling sogn, Skanderborg by
Sophie Andersen   33    Gift      Hans kone   Snede sogn, Skanderborg amt

Else Catrine Jensen   4    Ugift      Deres barn   Her i sognet

I think this is your Else Catrine even though she is mentioned as daugther of Iver Jensen and Sophie Andersen.
According to the information at her confirmation in 1860 (opslag 142, 1851-1864, Hvirring), Iver Jensen is the father of Mette Marie Iversen.

She is still in Hvirring in 1860 according to the census:

Hi Anne

If you read my post (before yours) you will see that it includes the FT-1850.

Regards,
Mette

Thank you both very much.  It helps a lot.  As I was looking at the afgangslister for Hvirring I noticed it has a gap around 1841 and the next afgangslister starts in 1854-1875.  Mette Marie Iversen was there in 1846 because that's where Else Catrine was born. So hopefully Mette Marie didn't leave the parish until 1854, otherwise it'll be kind of hard to track her down.  Else Catrine on the other hand was there in 1860.  Hopefully I can find out where she went from there.  I haven't been able to find either of them past 1860.  Mette Marie became a Mormon and immigrated to the United States with the Mormon pioneers.  The first Mormons to leave Denmark left around 1852.  I'm guessing that Mette left before 1860 because I can't find her on an 1860 census.

I'm not too good at using the emigration records to find out when Mette Marie Iversen left.  If someone could help me find out when she left, and if she took Else with her, that would be great.

I found Else in the afgangsliste for Hvirring, Nim, Skanderborg for 1854-1875, Opslag 89, #10.  I can't quite make it out, but it looks like she left for Horsens parish in 1863 from Trebjerre.
