Ole Knudsen

Hi everyone.

Can I please have your help to find out more information about Ole Knudsen?

I have seen a possible reference to a date of birth or baptism of 12 August 1735 in Rudkøbing.

Ole Knudsen married Rebekke Rudolphsdatter on 3 August 1764 in Rudkøbing per:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FVPZ-3QB

I have the following census for 1801 from Inger from:

https://www.slaegtogdata.dk/forum/index.php/topic,115832.0.html

Svendborg, Langelands Nørre, Rudkøbing Købstad, Rudkøbing Købstad, Torvet 8, 7, FT-1801, C0098
Name: Age: Marital status: Position in household: Occupation:
Ole Knudsen 61 Gift Huusbonde Skræder [tailor]
Rebecca Rudolphsdatter 67 Gift Hans kone [his wife]
Grethe Olsdatter 28 Ugift Deres datter [their daughter]
Johan Thomas Flindt 11 Ugift Indqvarteret [accommodated] Skibsdreng [Ship's boy]
Hans Rasmussen 20 Ugift Hans svend [his companion] Skrædersvend [tailor]

I think Ole and Rebekke had several children. They include:

* Morten Olsen (born 25 Jan 1765 - I have his vital records)
* Knud Christian Olsen - possibly a twin to Morten?
* possibly a second child with the same name of Knud Christian Olsen (born 1766)?
* Margrethe Olsdatter (born 1770)
* Anne Margrethe Olsdatter (born 1773)
* Rudolph Knudsen (born 1776)

I also have an index for Ole's death on 13 June 1822 in Rudkobing at:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FVB3-B94

I would really appreciate your help in finding the actual records. Thanks again

Searching for a marriage of Rudolph glarmester in the parish, I come up short.

On the other hand, in 1734 (opslag/lookup 26) Rudoph Jensen glarmester is a guarontor for an Adam Hansen, a tax official in the village with ties to Copenhagen.

Ralph Rasmussen · 19 Nov 2016 - 05:11

I overlooked Rudolph Jensen's marriage to Margrete Hansdatter on opslag 22, first entry for 1726:

d: 8 Februar: Trolofede [sognepræsten] Hr. Hendrick, Rudolph
Jensen og Margretta, Hans Baggers Datter
to unge folk her i byen.
Viede d: 16 Julij

Tying that together, Hans Rudolphsen's baptism, opslag 227 #8 of 1744 - Father Rudolph Glarmester.

Thanks Inger, Ralph and Jens.

Inger - you are right - I accidentally used Rebekke's date of birth for Ole.

The correct (and potential) date of birth/baptism I have for Ole should actually be 22 November 1739 in Rudkøbing.

Can you please help me find his birth/baptism record?

Also, can you please tell me how far back the Danish census records go?

Thanks

Danish censuses: https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Denmark_Census

There was a census in 1769, as well, but most data, including those for Rudkøbing, have been lost:

For Zealand etc. you have http://ddd.dda.dk/soeg_oeders.asp from 1771 (only married couples, widows and widowers).
