Looking for information on Aksel Christensen

[Alanna Frew]

I am currently looking for information on a man named Aksel Christensen. I do not have much personal information about him and I am looking for some as well as regarding his family. He was born on April 12, approximately 1897. He was born in Bakkeboelle, Sjaelland Denmark. Any information would be healful as well as any pictures. Thank you!

[Ralph Rasmussen]

The parish is Vordingborg in Præstø.  A cursory search of the baptisms in early 1897 doesn't show him.  The parish records are accessible here:  http://ao.salldata.dk/index.php?type=kb&n1=Pr%C3%A6st%C3%B8&n2=&n3=Vordingborg

In 1906 I found Aksel Christensen born 13/4 - 1896 here:

In the 1906 census he is living with another family (Andersen) in Bakkebølle:

The levying roll confirms that he died in France - although one year off.

What is not so obvious is that Alanna is looking for a certain Aksel Christensen, who died in WWI.  But she "forgot" to tell:

I think this is our Aksel.
Aksel Justinus O'Neill Christensen born; also the name in the levying roll.

Alanna didn't tell anything about that. But if that's correct we can forget all about Aksel Justinus O'Neill Christensen

Then I guess it is him here. Is it a Dane who had emigrated? He must have left Denmark with his parents.

Is there anyway we can find out when his mother passed away?

[Alanna Frew]

Also, how she passed away? She would have passed away when Aksel was very young.

Anna Pettersdotter passed away at the age of 43 on 27 Jun. 1898 in Stenhuset at Petersgaards Mark,
Kalvehave parish, where she had given birth to Axel Herman Alfred Christensen 1 Apr. the same year.
She was present at his baptism in the church 15 May 1898.

As for how she passed away - the death certificates for Præstø county are not online, unfortunately.

According to the death report, Axel was the youngest of seven siblings.

Tønne Christensen, who didn't remarry, passed away 10 Mar. 1919 in Slagslunde parish, less than two
years after Axel died at Vimy.

Kalvehave is in Bårse district, Præstø county - Slagslunde in Ølstykke district, Frederiksborg county:
