Help with Translation

[Dixie MacFarlane]

Could someone please translate Opslag 77, 1892-1898 Essenbæk Parish, Sønderhald, Randers, Denmark for me?  Specifically, I'm trying to determine which town and parish Frans Johan Karlsson was born in.  It gives me a date of Jun 22, 1868 for his date of birth.  Also, I believe his parents are named Karl Johan Svendsen & Ane Kathrine Sammelson.  Can you also tell me where the marriage took place.  Thank-you.

He was born in Vraa/Vrå parish in Kronobergs län in Sweden.

Karl Johan Svensson and Ane (Anna) Kathrine (Kathrina) Samuelsson i Stroholt.

I will check the Swedish places/villages. They are written in Danish.

He was born in a village called Singsjö. His parents lived in Stråhult.

Hi Dixie,

Frans Johan Karlsson is from Singsjö, Vra, Kronobergs Län in Sweden. His parents are: smallholder Karl Johan Svensson and wife Ane Kathrine Samuelsson in (perhaps) Stråhult (Sweden) xxx.

Try www.maps.google.com to find the places.

The couple was married according to Royal permission of 27 July.

Frans was a brickworks laborer.

The marriage took place in the parish church which seems to be in the village of Assentoft.

Hjemstedsbevis af 21 Juli.

Floes is a placename in Virring parish, Sønderhald district.

Kongebrev, also called Kongelig bevilling ("royal license/permission") is, in my opinion, not required because of the bride's age, but because the banns were not announced on three successive Sundays prior to the wedding (note the dates in the other records). Please refer to https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Denmark:_Engagement_/_Marriage_Records.

At that time, the groom should be over 20, the bride over 16 years. See e.g. http://www.h58.dk/Kirke-Religion/Pr_opg_v_Vielser.pdf.

This was changed to 23 and 21 years respectively in 1922, and in 1969 to 18 years for both groom and bride (http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Samfund,_jura_og_politik/Sociologi/Organisationer_og_institutioner/%C3%A6gteskab/%C3%A6gteskab_%28Retshistorie%29).

It seems the couple was in a hurry to get married. About three weeks after the marriage a son was born (Virring, Sønderhald, Randers 1892-1897, opslag 14, # 13).

The sponsor Jens Anker Jensen was married to Ane Kirstine Nielsen's older sister Karen:
