Thanks mate, i have confirmed this and it is what i have been looking for and now i hopefully can find the rest of my wifes past and present relations in Denmark
If you want to search for his ancestors, you will need to know that Sletten is in Asminderød Parish, Frederiksborg County. If you need help, let me  know
Gday Torben, thanks again ,i have managed to find alot through various Danish resources but i am finding it a bit difficult with finding infomation on Peters brothers and sisters families other than their names , dates of birth and christening dates. From what i have found is that this Larsen family has lived in Sletten for a long time in which Peter never talked about his life in Denmark from what my wife [ Peters granddaughter ]  can recall, so yes anything you could find other from what i have would be appreciated as Danish language is a bit of a barrier for us to spell or understand
I can't find his profile on Wikitree. It will be easier to help if I know what you have already found. He is in the 1890 census with his parents in Sletten and his father is in the 1860 census as a child living with his parents, but I assume you have already found this info.
I have Peters parents , wife [ australian ] also 5 brothers and sisters and  they are all on here .They should be here maybe click on my name then my wifes as it is her direct family line.
hi Torban my grandfather is peter emilius larsen he married cathrine maud feely & had two son & one  stepson ronald  who was fathered by my nan's first or second husband ,Allen larsen whom nevered married or had children  died 2014 & reginald keith larsen who  died in 1977, married heather claudia burns, one son peter larsen  born 1964, my nan & grandad had five daughters effie,dorathie,jeanie, betty & connie
Thank you very much for  tracking down the info of my grandfather  my father was the second son of peter & catherine my father was reginald keith larsen  older brother allen sister dorthy effie jeanie betty connie  & half brother ronald his father not quite sure  but thanks again peter larsen
my grandfather  father name was Rasmus & his mother was  Anna Jo-hanne Emile, in danish navy from the age 13-14 to early twenties arrived in Bunbury  Western AUSTRALIA 1906 there about CHEERS FOR NOW  PETER LARSEN
my grandfather had two brothers john  had one daughter  Ann Marie & jack married a amercian girl who died in san fansisco  earthquack 1906 went back to denmark & three sisters Magethe  one  son Klute & Ingeborg  one son Kund & Lunra no children had shop sold chocolates & sweets  shop was taken over by germans ww2 hope that helps peter larsen
It is the same family , you are my wifes cousin , remember just because Ronald was born out of wedlock does not mean that Peter is not his father , that was how it was done in the old days for unwed mothers,
Thanks David. Chased up some more family stuff. I think Ronald's father was Percy Mount Stevens who died in mining accident & left Catherine Maude Feely widowed in Broken Hill (early 1900's). I  agree with you there, so you must be married to one of Ronald & Elva girls? cheers pete
catherines mother married percy , are you able to see all the info i have put on here? and yes i married Brenda  , peter and catherine were married in 1915 broken hill two years after ronald was born and  he is the oldest of these siblings also catherine was never married before
also check spelling i found feeley as spelt this way and also fehilly , feely and some others but was confirmed through trove website as they had placed ads in Broken hill miner many years ago , also Peters middle name has different ways to , but on his immigration papers it is spelt EMILUIS  ,
