I'm going to try this question again since I think it might have been missed.  I'm confused by this 1787 census entry, https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid595324, where a Maren Nielsdatter is listed as "Deres Børn af dette ægsteskab" of Ole Nielsen Kaare and Kirsten Jensdatter.  The phrasing "Deres Børn af dette ægsteskab" appears to be common for this census taker.

In this time period of patronymic naming, I don't understand how Maren Nielsdatter would be the daughter of Ole Nielsen Kaare.  Could someone here who understands this explain why?  Thanks very much.

Hi Kerry

I think it is wrong.
At Maren and Johanne's confirmations 1780/1783 they are called Olsdatter.

Here is the betrothal 21.Jun.1793 of Johanne Olsdatter from Brandstrup to Jens Pedersen from Nidløse
