Sofus Niels Simonsen

[Keld Dyreholt]

I cant find my grandfathers father and mother.
my grandfathers name was Sofus Niels Simonsen.
He was an architecht.
He was born in 1896.
He died in Collingwood, Australia in 1932.
He had a son - Flemming Simonsen - who was born on the Rigshospital in Copenhagen on oct. 31 1921.
Flemming Simonsen was merried on mar 31 1950 (Kirke Hyllinge churchbook (1945-1956, page 116) and Mariendal Churchbook - 1941-1952, page 228) and Sofus Niels Simonsen is mentioned in the churchbook.
Where was he born?

Hi Bodil

I hope You mean the census is taken 1901 and not 1801.

[John Wrenholt]

I'm not sure that the Niels Sofus Anders Simonsen that Bodil discovered is the correct one but he seems to fit.

Here is a record showing his residence in Copenhagen:

http://www.politietsregisterblade.dk/component/sfup/?controller=politregisterblade&task=viewRegisterblad&id=1913586&searchname=polit_simple

In the 1921 census, he can be found living at Frederiksborggade 27 (ops 30).  His occupation is listed as an architect.

[Paul Londahl-Smidt]

Niels Sofus Anders Simonsen was born 12 Sep 1895 and baptized 1 Dec 1895 in Skt Knud, Odense, Odense, opslag 18 nr 275.  His parents are Jørgen Laurits Simonsen and his wife Kirstine Nielsen, age 41.

Sincerely,
Paul

This is Kirstine Nielsen in the 1880 census with her parents:

Roskilde, Voldborg, Hyllinge, Nørre Hyllinge By, Hyllinge sogn, en gaard, 5, FT-1880, B0194

Confirmation 19.april 1868 in Kirke Hylling, Voldborg Roskilde.
Kirstine Nielsen *4. juni 1857
Niels Hansen og Sidse Kirstine Christiansdatter

And if you look in the 1930 census for Hylling, Voldborg, Roskilde you find Flemming Simonsen. He is a foster child in the following family:

FT.1830. Kirke Hylling, Voldborg, Roskilde. Nørre Hylling By. View 39. Nørre Hyll. 5.
Christine Sørensen, K, 31/3 1871, Nørre Hylling, Husmoder
Flemming Simonsen, M, 31/10 1921, København, Plejebarn
Arnold Harald Sigurd Nielsen, M, 22/6 1906, Vridsløse, Tjenestekarl
Karl Olaf Sørensen, M, 10/7 1900, Lyngerup, Bestyrer
Viggo Reinholdt Larsen, M, 6/4 1908, Eskildstrup, Fodermester
Anna Sørensen, K, 31/3 1871, Nørre Hyllinge, Sygeplejeske Balders Hospital
Maren Brunsborg, K, 4/12 1905, Havnbjerg, Husassistent

I think you got the right Sofus Niels Simonsen. His mother's connection to Nørre Hylling explains why he is in care there - and why he is later married there.

It amazes me that Keld posts a question and so many people help and yet there is no reply.
