Anders Jenssen and Maren Halvorsdatter

[gj10647]

Both born in Holt parish: Looking for parents of Anders Jensen born ca. 1823 and parents of Maren Halvorsdatter born ca 1816.

What parish includes Holt in the 1801 census?


Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Holt and Dybvåg parishes in Aust-Agder (Nedenes) are unfortunately missing in the 1801 census.

Can you tell us anything more about Anders and Maren?

Anders and Maren were married on Oct. 20, 1843 and had a daughter Anne Helvig born December of 1845 in Holt. She married Thomas Olsen in 1871 and they emigrated to USA in 1883.

In the record for Anders' and Maren's marriage it looks like Anders' father is Jens Pedersen and in his birth record it looks like Jens Andersen. May be two completely different individuals...

Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Are you sure you have the right marriage?
Do you have a link?

If you refer to this link - No.18:

Grooms last name is Jansen and his fathers name i Jan...it should be Jensen and Jens?!?

[Tove Dahl Johansen]

Here is the baptism record of Anne Helvig

Parents are Anders JANSEN and Maren Halvorsdatter.

Anders and Maren were married on October 20th 1843
His father is Jan Petersen and her father is Halvor Svenningsen

Baptism record of Maren Halvorsdatter (no. 23)
Parents are Halvor Svenningsen and Elen Larsdatter

I found the confirmation of Anders Jansen (spelt Jahnsen) and his birth or baptism date is 26th December 1823. He was born at Frolands Værk (= Froland iron Works).
Kjeldeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Holt, Ministerialbok nr. A 7 (1836-1848), Konfirmerte 1839, side 170.

Found his baptism record, it looks like Johnsen and John, but it should be Jahnsen and Jahn.
Froland at that time must be found in the parish records for Fjære. But he was baptised in Froland church.

Kjeldeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Fjære, Klokkarbok nr. B 7 (1816-1826), Fødde og døypte 1823, side 31.

So here you can see that Anne Helvig is named after her grandmother. Jahn Pettersen is a hammersmith at Froland iron works. It is possible he could be Swedish - just a feeling I have. There were many skilled hammersmiths who came from Sweden. (Just I thought I have)

Looks like Anders Jansen became a widower early and at the age of 36 remarries.
Birth place: Tvedestrand. That should be Holt parish at that time.

Marriage of Halvor Svenningsen and Elen Larsdatter (couple no. 7)
Halvor is a miner at the Næs ironworks (Næs Jernværk, one of the big iron works in Norway at that time)

Hello

Found this in an earlier posting on Slektsforum:

Jahn Pettersen (f. ca 1780 i Sverige) var hammersmed på Hagenes hammerverk fra ca 1812 til 1822. Da reiste han til Froland verk og var hammersmed der til ca 1828. Så flyttet han til Næs verk der han bodde til han døde i 1866, 86 år gammel.

He is no. 40 here.

Kjeldeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Holt, Ministerialbok nr. A 9 (1861-1871), Døde og gravlagde 1866, side 325.
Permanent sidelenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?i ... _side=-310
Permanent biletlenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 030310.jpg

And here he is on the 1865 census for Holt. He is a widower and he is blind. His illness has lasted from he was 73. He is living wih a daughter and her family. According to the census Anne H. Jahnsdatter (54) was born in Larvik which is close to the Hagenes hammerwork in Hedrum where Jahn Pettersen was a hammersmith between approx. 1812 and 1822. Anne Jahnsdatter was born in Hedrum according to her confirmation record (see below)

http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/ft ... 8159003671

I found the baptism of Hans Johannesen (also a hammersmith) and at his baptism in Holt in 1844 Anders Jansen and Maren Halvorsdatter are sponsors. So this is family

Confirmation of older sister of Anders Jansen (no. 40)

Permanent biletlenke: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1 ... 040404.jpg

And confirmation of older brother (no 30)

Kjeldeinformasjon: Aust-Agder fylke, Holt, Ministerialbok nr. A 6 (1820-1835), Konfirmerte 1834, side 221.

Mother is here Hansdatter, not Sørensdatter. So it looks like Hansdatter must be correct. There is an Anne Helvig Hansdatter who is baptised on the 9th June 1798 in Hedrum, Vestfold. Have not found her marriage to Jan Pettersen yet.
