Research Notes

Looked for her on the 1801 census. Did not find her with second husband Jens Larsen, or in an obvious fourth marriage. Looked for her in daughter's household. Perhaps she died before the 1801 census. Next step is to look in both Sjorslev and Vinderslev parishes, between 1791 and 1801, for her or her second husband's death.

Found her likely husband Jens Larsen in 1787 before they married:
