Trying to find ancestor in Skast Herred, Ribe

[James Dahl]

I have been researching a particular ancestor of mine and I believe he might have been born in Skast Herred in Ribe Amt around the year 1756 and moved to Nørre Tyrstrup herred in Vejle Amt at a later date.

The records this early in time are very difficult to read though, and I am having trouble even looking through them.  I have a theory that my ancestor Christian August Albertsen might have been the son of Albert Didricksen (or Albret or Diderichsen/Didrichsen) of Jyllerup, Skast herred, Ribe amt around the year 1756, and that he moved in 1792 to Skartved, Nørre Tyrstrup herred, Vejle Amt and finally to Dalby, Nørre Tyrstrup herred, Vejle amt where he died on 2 Feb 1821.

I don't know where or when he married Maren Katrine Jensdatter but I do know that their eldest child, born in 1791, was born in Ølgaard, Øster Horne, Ribe amt 1 Dec 1791, and their next child, my ancestor Jens Christiansen Andsager was born 24 Dec 1792 in Skartved, Norre Tyrstrup, Vejle.

The only other Albertsens born around that time in Ribe are all children of Albert Didricksen if Jyllerup, which is pretty close to Ølgaard, so this is where my theory comes in.

Albert Didricksen (b. abt 1702? - d.  11 Apr 1779, 76 years old in Jyllerup)
+ Maren (b. abt 1713? - d. 8 Mar 1797, 83 years old in Jyllerup)
- Maren Albertsdatter (b. 12 Mar 1732 in Jyllerup)
- Dorethe Albertsdatter (b. 18 Sep 1740 in Jyllerup)
- Diderich Albertsen (b. 28 Jan 1742 in Jyllerup)
- Niels Albertsen (b. 29 Nov 1744 in Jyllerup - d. 6 Sep 1807, 64 years old in Jyllerup)
- Karen Dorethe Albertsdatter (b. 24 Dec 1747 in Jyllerup)
- ? (Other children?)
- (unnamed child died 2 Apr 1752)
- ? (Other children?)
- Christian August Albertsen?? (b. abt 1756? - d. 2 Feb 1821, 64 years old in Dalby)
- Olaf Albertsen (b. Summer? 1757  in Jyllerup - d. 16 Dec 1760, 3 and a half years old in Jyllerup)

Also, not sure if this helps or not but Christian August Albertsen was a recipient of poor box assistance when he lived in Dalby, according to the census records.

Okay - Some things we know (per James): Christian August Albertsen is married to Maren Katrine Jensdatter [her name per birth record for son Jens]. Marriage date/place unknown.

Christian August Albertsen has the following children (per James):
CHILD #1 born 01 DEC 1791 in Ølgaard, Øster Horne, Ribe
CHILD #2 Jens Christiansen Andsager born 24 Dec 1792 in Skartved, Nørre Tyrstrup, Vejle

James - is this your family?

Yes that's them in Dalby, I have a pretty good idea about the fate of all of Christian August Albertsen's children and grandchildren after much searching.

Hi again James.

Okay, so also for information for the forum - here's a website with Christian August Albrechtsen born March 20, 1757  in:

Stenderup, Sønder Bjert, Tyrstrup, Haderslev Amt, Duchy of Slesvig.
Isn't Sønder Bjert sogn in Nørre Tyrstrup herred, Vejle amount?

Wife of Christian August (on the website) is Marie Catrina Jensdatter Ansager. Here is the link:

Yeah I don't think that's right though, old information, and yeah my site heheh.

[James Dahl]

I still have no idea where these two were married or born.  I think I've well and truly hit a dead end.

I don't believe the Stenderup birth for Christian August is correct, and I have no evidence for a birth somewhere in Ribe.

Oh well, I guess the 1750s is a pretty good
