Death of Martine Jensine Pedersen

[Matthew Dent]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to find some information on the death of Martine Jensine Pedersen b. 29 Jan 1866 in Vokslev sogn, Aalborg.

In 1891, she marries Christen Pedersen of Dronninglund sogn:

Over the course of the next 10 years, they proceeded to have 7 children, of which 4 died according to the 1901 census:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?bsid=22015#22015,2272346

The three living children are Magnus Møller (b. 23 Dec 1894 Aalborg Vor Frue sogn), Alfred Peter (b. 20 Sep 1897 Aalborg Budolfi sogn), and Kristine Martine Jensine (b. 27 Jan 1901 Nørre Tranders sogn).

Here is where I get lost. In 1905 Christen and the two living sons emigrate to America, while I believe the little girl Kristine is put into foster care (I think I found her in the 1906 census in a nearby parish: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSLM-MWKN-P?i=772&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQLX4-F8TX). They went through the port of St. John's, New Brunswick, Canada, before I believe heading to New York State to stay with an aunt and then eventually to Omaha, Nebraska.

On the ship passenger list, it says he is married (see line 17-19):

On the border crossing documentation from Canada to the US, however, I think it says he is widowed:

If the wife had died suddenly I suppose that explains why he might just up and leave the country (though, why leave the daughter behind? A question for another time perhaps). But for the life of me I cannot seem to locate her death in the books for the big Aalborg city parishes (Vor Frue, Budolfi), or Nørre Tranders. So, any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I see now she didn't die. I've been able to find her in the census now between 1906 and 1930 in the mental hospital. I have now narrowed her death down to 1930-1940 and am currently flipping through the Viborg Søndre sogn church book.

I wonder, are there any records for this hospital available for viewing? I would love to know more about what happened.

Update: finished searching Viborg Søndre sogn deaths for about 1930 to 1947ish, still haven't seen her...
