Notes for Ane Marie (Anna Maria) Pedersdatter
CENSUS 1801 (Graungaard, Kollerup, Vejle S857)1035 age 3, “født i sognet.”
CENSUS 1834 (Graae, Thorning, Viborg S376)102 age 33. Confirms marriage to JTP Lassen 1802.
Her death record says that she died after 1/2 a year’s illness. On CENSUS 1840 (Graae, Thorning, Viborg S576)103 Peder Lassen is listed as “Enkemand” (widower). (Rigsarkivet Danmark, Dansk Demografisk Database)

The presence of Else Mathilde Sørensen (1831) as a foster daughter in the Lassen household in the 1834 and 1845 censuses is crucial to determining the correct parentage of Ane Marie Pedersen, Peder Lassen’s first wife. There is very little in the record about Ane Marie, and the available information contains a lot of conflicting data, particularly regarding her age.
CENSUS 1834 (Graae, Thorning, Viborg S376)102 shows Else Mathilde age 3, living with Peder and Ane on Grågård, “pleiebarn i datters sted”.
CENSUS 1845 (Graae, Thorning, Viborg S577)104 Else Mathilde, now 14, is still living on Grågård, but Ane Marie has passed away and Peder is now remarried to his second wife. The notation for Else Mathilde says, “Pleiebarn; søsterdatter af Huusfaderens 1ste Kone”. From this we learn that Ane Marie had a sister, and that Else Mathilde is her niece.
(Please see family profile for Mette Pedersen (1795) and Hans Ravn Sørensen for further citations.)
Because of her unique name and the fact that she comes from a large, well-documented family, it is possible to trace Else Mathilde’s birth family information and thereby obtain information on her mother (Mette Pedersen) which leads to the sisters’ parents and the location and dates of their births.
Else Mathilde has a birth record in Thorning and a vaccination record from 1931 links her to her father Hans Ravn Sørensen and her sister Johanne Caroline Marie Sørensen age 3. She moved from Thorning to Nim Sogn with her parents and siblings in 1832. When her family moved again the following year, from Nim to Vejle on 13 Apr 1833, Else Mathilde did not move with them, having gone to live with her godparents the Lassens on Grågård.
Else Mathilde’s mother’s (Mette Pedersen) marriage record (1815) to Hans Ravn Sørensen states that she was from “Vejle.” Her father “Brudens fader Peter Nielsen” was a witness at the wedding. The 1850 Census lists Mette’s birthplace as “Kollerup”, and this is where her birth record, including her mother’s name, was obtained. Searching for other children born to Peder Nielsen and Maren Andersdatter in Vejle Sogn yielded the birth record for Ane Marie (“Anna Maria”). There are no other close matches in Kollerup between 1795 and 1804.

Age 48 listed at time of death would point to a birthdate of 1791! Did they mean 38? Census age would have her born in 1801. But birth record is 1799…
No likely candidates born in Thorning from 1790-1792 or 1800-1802.
No confirmation record in Kollerup Sogn. No confirmation records in Vejle Sogn before 1814.
No marriage record before 1834 Census in Thorning Sogn, Kollerup Sogn or Vejle Sogn (Vejle Amt).
No obvious record of her on Thorning Tilgangs Liste, 1819-1830.
CENSUS 1834 (Graae, Thorning, Viborg S376)102 age 33. Confirms marriage to JTP Lassen 1802.
