Here is the death record for Peder Hansen.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-994W-57F6?i=236&wc=M5KC-T3X%3A357517501%2C357801401%2C357956501%2C358026501%3Fcc%3D2078555&cc=2078555

If I am reading this correctly, it says he was a male pensioner in Vollerup when he died at age 60.

Does that indicate that his wife would have been dead at that point?  Or can I not make that assumption?  My understanding of a pensioner was an older individual living with someone else.  Were they always cared for by the state?

Thanks,

Hi,


Peder H  is an aftægtsmand "pensioner, former owner, supported by the new owner of landed property, especially by a son providing for his father".

It doesn't say he is a widower.

It seems he was a widower, but the church record does not contain that info.

Thank you, Eva and Inger.  That helps confirm some things for me.
