Transcription help with engagement record

[Susan Russell]

I'm trying to find out more about Søren Christensen and am hoping this engagement record may help once I know what it says. The marriage record is on the following page, but has less information.

It is in Oudrup Kirkebog 1738-1767 op. 24

Second entry under Trolovede

16 April Søren
Christensen og Anne
Jensdatter fra Tolstrup
?? ??
?? ?? ??
gaard af Tolstrup

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Ruth,

Wonderful! I couldn't even tell those were names. Thomas Jensen is almost certainly a brother of the bride I haven't found yet, since her father is Jens Thomsen. I will have to look further to see if Peder Vestergaard is related to either one.

Thanks so much,

Susan

Hi Susan

Regarding Peder Vestergaard I would think, that Vestergaard (Westfarm) is not his given name, but a kind of nickname because he or his family lived or had lived at a farm called Vestergaard.
