Hoping to find Niels Thorkildsen, VesterAlling

[Karin Tofte Rosenstrom]

The earliest I can locate Niels Thorkildsen 29, is when he married Birthe Marie Jensdatter 23,  August 31, 1817, Vester Alling.
In 1834 they lived at "gaard nr 18" VesterAlling. She passed away March 27,1839.
In 1840 he lived at the same place with Maren Jorgensdatter
He passed away at age 79, on April 23, 1867, VesterAlling mars.

Can anyone pls help me find out where he was born and who his parents were?

Hi Karin,

Here is your ancestor in the 1845 census.  It says he was born in Lihme, Randers but it must be Lime, Sønderhald, Randers.  I will look in that church record for his birth there.

All persons in the household

Randers, Sønderhald, Vester Alling, Westeralling Udflyttere, , En gaard, 16, FT-1845
Name:    Age:    Marital status:    Occupation in household:    Occupation:    Birth place:
Niels Terkildsen   58    Gift      Gaardmand   Lihme sogn Randers amt
Maren Jørgensdatter   42    Gift      Hans kone   Fausing sogn Randers amt
Knud Nielsen   18    Ugift      Deres børn   Heri sognet
Niels Nielsen   11    Ugift      Deres børn   Heri sognet

His baptism was on 20 Jan 1788 in Lime, Sønderhald, Randers, opslag 45.  I know is father's first name is Terkild and I think his patronym is Nielsen, but I am not sure.  Here is Terkild Nielsen in the 1787 census.

Hi Paul,

I am so impressed - I have been searching for weeks, without any luck. Can't believe how they changed names and/or switch the names around - that makes it really hard.

Thank you so much!

Hi Lissa,

I'm just so estatic - you have helped locate my ancestors back to the early 1600's, which i din't think would be possible.

Thank you soooo... much
