Possible place of birth?

[Roger Nelson]

My 3 grt-grandparents (Søren Jensen & Anna Kirstine Jørgensen) were married in Staden København, Holmens sogn on 21 May 1790.  Their marriage record translates "Søren Jensen Conduct and Communion Certificate by 'Erudite' Poulsen dated Aabenraa June 3, 1788."  "Anna Kirstine Jørgensen Communion Certificate by 'Erudite' Høegh April 9, 1786."

Does that Certificate mean or indicate that Søren Jensen was born in Aabenraa?

Hi Roger,

The certificate (Skudsmaal og Altergangsbevis) proves that Søren Nielsen was living in Aabenraa in 1788, and indicates only - but is a strong indication - that he originates from Aabenraa.

Kind regards

Hi Roger

If you look in this church book

https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17116049#151584,25193687

you will find another registry of Søren Jensen and Anne Kirstine Jørgensen's engagement and marriage. It shows that Søren Jensen was a ship carpenter (Skibstømmermand, abbreviated Skibstømd), so you will probably not find him in the Divisionsbøger - regrettably! The Divisionsbøger until about 1800 only had the seamen onboard the navy ships - not carpenters, smiths and so on working at Holmen, the wharf. I haven't found any lists of staff working at Holmen prior to 1800.

Kind regards

Hi Kristian,

You mentioned the Division Books.  Since Søren Jensen was identified as an Enroul Matros would he have been listed in the "Division Books" and are they the ones you told me how to get to at "Search the Database Daisy?"
