Help in Hostrup, Skast, Ribe 1721 - 1802

[Marlon Henvit]

I am not sure what I have found here. I am searching for records of Hans Jensen whose marriage to Ursula Christensdatter can be found at Hostrup, Skast, Ribe 1721- 1802, Opslag 97, last record for 1727. Beginning at Opslag 8 I see the name Hans Jensen repeatedly. I don't know if it is the all the same Hans Jensen or if it all has to do with the birth of children or just what I have found. Can anyone help clarify? Here they are:

You have a bit of a puzzle here.  All of these with Hans Jensen in the top line are baptisms from Krauns, with one exception: in opslag 15 the first father is Hans Jepsen. 

They seem to come too quick and fast.  But only in opslag 9 left page, Trinity 15, do there seem to be two Hans Jensens in one entry.  But in opslag 13 there are only 22 weeks between the baptisms.

You about need to compare the sponsors from one baptism to the next, hoping there are two distinct groups.

A small start:

Opslag 8 'Dom. 2da Pasch:'  Easter Monday Hans Jensen's son in Krauns, born April 23 and baptized by me at home on account of weakness, was brought to the church (and presented at the font by) Maren Clemendsdatter.  Witnesses were Christen Heyn? in Krauns, Frands Aleman?, Hans Jensen, Peder Terchildsen of Krauns, Mads Jørgensen,  and Kiersten Pedersdatter of Cogspan, Kiersten Sørensdatter  and Kiersten Pedersdatter of Krauns?

Hi Marlon
You really have a job to sort them out - if possible
But:
1. Opslag 8 left column # 2, the baptism is in april 1727. Your couple did not marry till 7th of Nov. and this child is not mentioned to be illigimate. So I think this one is not relevant.
2. Opslag 8, left column # 6 - I think you mean 7.
3. Opslag 8, right column # 5 - I think you mean 6, Ursula Christensen is among the witnesses, so not relevant.
4. Opslag 9, left column # 4
5. Opslag 9, right column # 3 from bottom
6. Opslag 10, left column # 2
7. Opslag 10, right column # 2 from bottom
8. Opslag 11, left column #2 from bottom
9. Opslag 12, left column #2
10. Opslag 12, right column # 3 from bottom
11. Opslag 13, right column #5
12. Opslag 13, right column # 4 from bottom
13. Opslag 15, left column #5 - The father Hans Jepsen as Ralph wrote - so not relevant.
14. Opslag 15, left column # 6
15. Opslag  18, right column # 2

Here you have some of your witnesses, but I see no clear picture to tell the families apart:

Hans Jensen and Ursula Christensdatter are married 9th of Nov. 1727.

I think I have found the marriage of the other Hans Jensen but I can not read the name of the bride. Can someone translate? It is Opslag 96 1st record for 1722

[Ruth Steenberg Rasmussen]

I have seen that too, but unfortunately you do not get the name of the bride. It just says "widow of Træden".

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

No wonder I could not read the name of the bride, there was no name for the bride.

Thanks again for all the help you have provided.
