Help in Ansager Parish

[Marlon Henvit]

For some time I have been attempting to find the fate of my ancestors Christen Eskesen, born 24 September Vester Starup and his wife Else Marie Joensdatter, born 1756 Strellev. This is what I know: The family owned Vester Starup for most of the 18th century, they were permitted to sell the property in 1798 and they moved from the parish. I find them on the 1801 census living in Ribe, Skast, Faaborg, Faberge Bye. Then they disappear. I have checked the death records in Faaborg and since I used the transcribed records I am pretty confident I did not miss their death. Yesterday I found her on the 1834 census living with son Hans Christensen in Ribe, Øster Horne, Ansager. She is now a widow.

I think I have found her death two years later 11 July 1836. I need confirmation and a translation please. I have searched the early Ansager deaths for record of Christen's death but the records, especially before the 1820's, are very difficult for me to read. Can someone else find his death?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Thanks Inger. I'll bet I looked at that image half a dozen times but did not read Eskesen. Trained eyes such as yours are a blessing.

Hi Kirstine,

I have been busy with other things and have not checked the forum in some time. Just saw your reply to this post today. Yes, I have her birth. Thanks for your time and effort.
