Hjalmar Rikard Jensen

[Paul Londahl-Smidt]

I have found the birth of Hjalmar Rikard Jensen on 30 Mar 1903 in den kgl. Fodselssktiftelse, opslag 21 nr 282.  Can anyone look at the record and see if he was adopted by Valdemar Falck Løndahl and his wife Maria Nielsen Aarestrup.  Was Maria the mother of Hjalmar?

Tusind tak.

Hi,

The interesting thing here is the reference "Lov af 27/5 1908", and esp. the reference to § 11 which says,

Har en kvinde, der er Moder udenfor Ægteskab, indgaaet Ægteskab med en anden end hendes Barns Fader, kan Stedfaderen med Moderens Samtykke, for saa vidt hun har Forældremagten over Barnet, tillægge dette sit Familienavn ved Anmeldelse til vedkommende Ministerialbog under Forevisning af Barnets Fødsels(Daabs-)attest, sin egen Fødsels(Daabs-)attest eller Bevis for opnaaet Navneforandring og sin og Moderens Vielsesattest. Barnets øvrige Retsstilling berøres ikke af denne Navneforandring.

I Tilfælde, hvor det er oplyst, hvem der er Barnets Fader, og dette tillige har faaet Faderens Navn, eller denne er villig til at give Barnet dette, kan Stedfaderen dog ikke uden Faderens Samtykke give Barnet sit Navn.

Ej heller kan saadant Barn bortadopteres eller Forældremagten af Moderens overdrages andre uden Faderens Samtykke

I am not a legal expert, but for me to see that means that Maren (NB not Marie!) f. Nielsen Aarestrup (née Nielsen Aarestrup) who is referred to as Valdemar Falck Løndahl's wife ("Hstr"), is the mother of the child but Valdemar is not the father. However, he has accepted giving the child his family name.

Also, in the record it says that they were married in Odense Vor Frue 3/5 1907.

Hej Asger,

Thank you for the excellent translation.  Hjalmar has been difficult to trace.  I found him with Valdemar Falck Løndahl in the 1911 census for Rørholmsgade 11, København, opslag 25.  In the 1916 census, Nørrebrogade 14, København, opslag 887, Valdemar is divorced and Hjalmar is not living with him.  He is living with his future wife Margrethe Christensen.  In the 1921 census for Nørrebrogade 14, opslag 15, he is married to Margrethe as in the 1925 census for Nørrebrogade 14, opslag 65.

Do you know what parish Nørrebrogade is in?  I would like to find the marriage of Valdemar and Margrethe.

Hi Paul,

Try www.fogsgaard.org about and under "Dødebladene" find "Københavnske gader" - write Nørrebrogade in the box etc. ...
