Question

On the page below in Col 6/Liig on the left, is the death reported that of Bent Haagensen _____ (farm name) age 36 or does that say Bent Haagensen's Qvinde age 36 - his wife's death.

I looked at the farm names in Vang and there is one named Syljuset and one named Spigdal which it could be.  I just want to be sure what that word is.  Spigdal is more associated with this family.

Answer 1

I see no mention of his woman, the scratches after his name seems to be "Sepult." ie. burial. Or it may be a farm name (Spiltvedt?). it's hard to say.

Edit: Or it could be Spigedal.

I think you're right.  Spigdal or Spikedal Farm is in Furnes in the Vang area and where most of them lived for a while.....just wanted to make sure it was Bent who died and not his wife.

I have one other page if could look at it.  There are two listings for Bent Haagensen....one looks like he's a cautioner (forloven?) along with Peder Larsen.  Is this for someone's marriage, because shortly below is his own marriage.

Bent Haagensen is betrothed on Dom Lætare, and wedded on Second Easter Day. It seems like only males get married in this book, no women are mentioned but for the pastor's own daughter.
