The puzzle for Mads Jorgensen

I have a puzzle to sort out because there are some things in the records for Mads Jorgensen that do not make sense.

Mads Jorgensen was born 20 Jun 1830 to Jorgen Madsen and Mette Kirstine Olesdatter in Nebsager, Bjerre, Vejle, Denmark.

Birth Mads Jorgensen: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=166917#166917,28027318

He is found in the 1834, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1860 and 1880 census documents in Nebsager and all ages correspond to a birth year of 1830.

He married firstly to Maren Sorensen, born 3 Dec 1828 to Soren Jensen and Ane Marie Mikkelsdatter?? (cannot decipher her last name) in Nebsager.

Birth Maren Sorensen: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=166917#166917,28027342

This is where it gets tricky because they both have a birth date of 24 Jun 1832 in the marriage record.  I could not find a birth record to correspond with this information.
 
Marriage Mads and Maren: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=166919#166919,28027715

Where I am confused even more is that there is a son, Jorgen Madsen, born 15 Feb 1852 and he is illegitimate (I think?) and I do not think his mother is Maren Sorensen but I cannot read the record very well.  Is the mother Rancine Rasmussen?

Birth Jorgen Madsen: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=166918#166918,28027454

Maren Sorensen dies 8 Sep 1871 in Nebsager and Mads Jorgensen marries secondly to Ane Kirstine Hansen on 19 Dec 1871 in Nebsager.  Once again, the birth for Mads is 24 Jun 1832 and the birth for Ane Kirstine Hansen is 12 Aug 1841 but I have her birth 17 Apr 1840 in Raarup, Vejle to parents Hans Pedersen Slot and Maren Georgsdatter.

Birth Ane Kirstine Hansen: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=168277#168277,28258976

Marriage Mads and Ane Kirstine: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=166920#166920,28027895

Am I dealing with two different Mads Jorgensens?  I could understand a transcription error once, in the case of the 24 Jun 1832 birthdate on his 1st marriage but why would it be 24 Jun 1832 again for the 2nd marriage?  And why would Ane Kirstine Hansen have a different birth date than what I have proof of?

Is anyone able to translate the documents or help show me that the documents that I have all relate to my Mads Jorgensen?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The dates in the marriage records are vaccination dates (vacc.)

You find the same date at Mads' confirmation 1845: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17125336#166918,28027495 - No 3

- and Maren's confirmation 1843: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=17125336#166918,28027500 - No 2

- in the column Naar og af Hvem vaccineret (When and by whom vaccinated).

The mother of Jørgen Madsen born out of wedlock 1852, is Rasmine Rasmusdatter.

Thank you Inger.  I am not used to looking for vaccination dates so that completely fooled me.
