Found relative living with daughter on Løgtholt farm, Hjørring amt, Dronninglund sogn, Dronninglund herred at "Dorf Fjerding" on the 1880 census but 1890 census reports they are at "Neder Dorf" where she died on Løgtholt. 
Are Dorf Fjerding and Neder Dorf just reference points for the location of Løgtholt?
Best wishes, Rog Nelson

Hi Roger

Fjerding = 1/4 ~ for the census, they divided the parish in four parts (local decision).

Neder = below ~ the area South of Dorf
