Too many Jens Christian Christensen

[Linda Michelle Thérèsa de Bodt Rosenland]

Hello,

My Jens Christian Christensen was born around 1817 I believe in Tranders, Fleskum, Ålborg, Denmark.

JCC has an illegitimate child with Anna Magdalena Gregersdatter named Jens Andersen Christensen on 10 Dec 1844 in Budolfi, Hornum, Ålborg, Denmark.  This child dies 20 Dec 1844 although I did not find a record in Budolfi but I think his baptism record mentions this.  Anna Magdalena Gregersdatter dies 13 Dec 1844 in Budolfi, Hornum, Ålborg, Denmark.

Death Anna Magdalena Gregersdatter on the right #89 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584058#356551,70436537

JCC has another illegitimate child with Karen Kirstine Nielsdatter named Mariane Christensdatter on 19 Jun 1847 also in Budolfi, Hornum, Ålborg, Denmark.

Birth Mariane Christensdatter #41 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584058#356532,70433545

Confirmation Mariane Christensdatter 1860 in Vor Frue, Kær, Ålborg, Denmark #19 here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89Z6-N7PH?cc=2078555

Death Mariane Christensdatter 15 Jul 1888 in Sønder Onsild, Sønder Onsild, Randers, Denmark #1 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21585190#365535,70638601

From what I can glean from these documents it looks like JCC was born in Tranders, Fleskum, Ålborg, Denmark.  The problem I have is that I have located 3 JCC - 2 in Nørre Tranders and 1 in Sønder Tranders.

Nørre Tranders birth 20 Feb 1817 #7 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584070#356641,70442062  Son of Poul Christensen and Johanne Christensdatter

Nørre Tranders birth 19 Jun 1816 #7 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584070#356641,70442060 Son of Niels Christensen? Blok and Sidsel Jensdatter.

Sønder Tranders birth 26 Mar 1816 #3 here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584074#356675,70443846  Son of Christen Nielsen and Maren Jensdatter.

Because of the year, I am assuming patronymics are still in use so I am leaning toward JCC in Sønder Tranders but I am not feeling confident.

This might be him with yet another woman.

I cannot read the documents well enough to know what his occupation is or if there is any information about where he is living.

Any help sorting this out is greatly appreciated.

Jens Christian Christensen in 1844 is Tjenestekarl.

- the child was baptized at home in Frue Sogn 20 Dec. 1844, and died there 22 Dec. 1844

Jens Christian Christensen in 1848 is Muursvend.

Maybe this one:

Thank you Inger.

I could not find a "Louns" (Lovns) in Viborg.  There was a Lovns in Ålborg but I did not find a birth record for a Jens Christian Christensen there 1808-1815.

[Inger Toudal]

I found the daughter Birgitte Cathrine Christensen b. 2 Sep. 1847:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584058#356532,70433547 - No 56

- the mother is born in Aarhus

- daughter baptized 1 May 1848:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584066#356618,70438992

The father is Muursvend Niels Christian Christensen, though.

He marries the mother 22 Nov. 1850:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17148273#188613,31880289 - right page

https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584066#356621,70439208

The 1850 Census has his name as Jens Chr Christensen: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid7749255

Could he possibly be the father of Mariane, also b. 1847 ??

As it turned out that the name of Muursvend Jens Chr. Christensen in the 1850 Census actually was Niels Chr. Christensen,
I started searching for another candidate. He is here:

Aalborg, Fleskum, Aalborg Købstad, Wingaardsstræde, No. 25 b ved siden af, 47, FT-1845, A4473

Hendrik Snorr     55     Enke(mand)            Arbejdsmand      Aalborg 

- and perhaps here:

His surname is Villadsen.

Confirmation 1835: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584066#356603,70438411 - No 5

Birth: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=21584058#356510,70432716 - No 40

1860 Census, Holbæk Købstad: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid14498068

Possibly he was also called Christensen after his mother ??

Not sure that's much help...

Thank you Inger.  That Villadsen JCC looks like a possiblity.  I just wonder where Mariane came from.  Mariane's maternal grandmother was Birthe Poulsdatter and if this is my JCC then the paternal grandmother is Sophie.

I know naming conventions were not always followed but Mariane's mother did not even have a sister named Mariane.

I wonder why he uses Christensen sometimes and Villardsen other times.

It is interesting the Sophie had so many illegitimate children with so many different men.  I have not come across that before.

[Inger Toudal]

I don't know, if Jens Christian, b. 1820, did use Christensen. His official surname/patronymic was Villadsen.

- and even more uncertain, whether he is the father of Mariane.

In the 1834 and 1845 censuses, only his given name Jens Christian is listed.

Maybe Mariane, b. 1847, was named after her godmother, Madame Simoni:

Thank you Inger.  I am still stumped on this one.  I am not sure now that he is JCC Villardsen or if he is a different JCC.  I will have to keep looking.
