Records for Bedsted Parish in Abenra County

[Claude Anders Hanson]

Does anyone know where I can find census records for Bedsted Parish in Abenra County for 1885 through 1910.  My Caroline Andrea Hansen Johnsen was widowed and in November, 1883,  married a Peter Petersen in that county in the mid-1880's and I lose the family after that marriage.  When they married, their household included three children born to Caroline Andrea--- John Nissen Johnsen, born 1872; Caroline Amalie Helena Christine Johnsen, born 1875; and Bodel Christine Marie Johnsen, born 1877.  I believe Peter Petersen was born 9 Nov 1826 in Esherup, Sweden.   Help!!!!

No census records available between 1860 and 1921 in Sønderjylland/Schleswig.

Censuses were taken, but the Prussian authorities destroyed the census records after they had been used for statistical purposes.

Hi Claude

Pehr Pehrson born 20 Febr. 1826 as son of Pehr Anderson and Kjestine Nielsdotter in Esarp parish in Skaane, Sweden
see also https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=200985#200985,38060672 at his first marriage in 1863.

After his marriage 9.nov.1883 to Caroline A.H.Johnsen in Bedsted there are no traces of them there.
None of Caroline's 3 children get their confirmation there.
Where they go?   The needle in the haystack!!

Best
Ole
