Finding info on my 3x great-grandfather: Georg Ludvig Theodore Becker

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

For quite a few years I have been researching my "Becker" family in Copenhagen, Denmark.  Many of the kind people on this site have helped me.  I have hit a wall in finding more information about my 3x great-grandfather; Georg Ludvig Theodore Becker.

The last census I found him on was the 1850 where he lived in the Rosenborg Qtr. on Vognmagergade 80.

In 1864 he is listed as a witness to his daughter's (Christiane Sophia) wedding at Skt. Paul on 31 July.

In the 1870 census his widow, Frederikke Becker, is living with her daughter at Georgsvej 2.

So... he had to have died between 1864 and 1870.  I cannot find him, however, on the 1855, 1860 or 1864 census when I search the census site.  I have no way of knowing which parish records to start checking for his death notice.  I have checked Trinitatis but did not find him.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can look further?  Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ruth Becker Morenz

HI

You could try probates here: http://www.sa.dk/content/dk/ao-forside/find_kobenhavnske_skifter
Choose: Københavns Skiftekommision indtil 1919
Choose: Navneregister Hovedregister

This tells you where the probate can be found and in sorted alfabetic order - and the month where he died

Dear Lis,

Thank you so very much.  I will do just that.  I so appreciate you taking the time to send my this lead.

Respectfully,

Dear Lis,

I found him at that site and he died in January of 1865  (opslag 10).  Thank you so very much.  Could you please tell me, however, what the numbers, etc. mean in the right hand column next to the names?

Hi Ruth

It could be the one in 1865 - lookup no. 10 - Lastname spelled Bekker - he died in december 1864 or January 1865

[Ruth Becker Morenz]

Dear Lis,

That is him; Bekker.  My question is, however, what does the column next to his name reference?
It has 1/5 3 A in the column??

Thanks,
Ruth

Hi Ruth

It tells where to find the Porbate - unfortunately they are not omline - but in upper left corner You se this is recorded in Januari - this increases the search after his death very much

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  I am so very grateful for your time and sending me to this site.  I have already found another ancestor.
