Biography
Narrative Peder is found on the 1840 census as a 24 year old Journeyman weaver employed by Christian Jorgensen of Fodby, Soro, Denmark. Oddly there is a young daughter of Christian Jorgensen, age 5, in the same household named Ane Kirstine Jorgensen. When I next find Peder Jensen, aged 43, a weaver, in Bidstrup, Fodby Parrish, he is married to Ane Christine Christensen, aged 47. While entirely speculative, I speculate that his wife, Ane Christine Christensen, is the sister of Christian Jorgensen's wife. This speculation is prompted by knowledge that at this time children were most frequently named after close relatives, however, I have not found any documentation for this speculation.
