Census Records for Christen Andersen


Christen Andersen has been very diffcult for me to pin down on where he was living. I am putting in some census records that I think show the Christen Andersen who was the Father of Micheal Christian Christensen. So here we go.

aalborg, Gislum, Alstrup, Alstrup, , , 14. familie, FT-1787
Following fields are shown:
Name, Age, Marital status, Position in household, Occupation , Birth place

And. Jacobsen, 35, Gift, mand, husmand og skræder,
Anne Michelsdatter, 36, Gift, kone, ,
Christen Andersen, 5, -, deres barn,
Jens Andersen, 3, deres barn,
  Michel Andersen, 1, -, deres barn,

Christen Andersen as a child in Alstrup. I can't prove for a fact that this is the correct Christen Andersen but follow the census records and see if the trail leads us in the right direction.

Bertel Christensen, 15, ugift, , Deres søn,
Michal Christensen, 11, ugift, , Deres søn,
Anne Kierstine Christensdatter, 13, ugift, , Deres datter,

Anne is living with three of her five children. Anders is probably working as a servant in nearby town and Gjertrud Marie is no longer found in the record. She possibly died young. Ane’s family is from Giottrup. She is probably renting a house from a family member while her husband works in Buderup. I think that Christen was in this parish in 1834 because his son Bertel is found there in 1840. The Census of 1840 shows Ane and Christen together.

aalborg, Gislum, Farsø, Fredberg, , Gård, 93 F2, FT 1840 Following fields are shown:

1840 the first time Ane and Christen are on their own.

Kirstine Andersdatter, 2, Ugift, , plejebarn, her i sognet

Christen Andersen and Ane Kirstine Bertelsen with Step Daughter Kirstine Andersdatter who is their daughter Ane Kirstine’s daughter. The girl as I have said is their grandaughter. I have seen her birth record and Her mother is Ane Kirstine.

While Christen was probably born in Alstrup this may just be an error. See 1845 Census)
