Albrecht Larsen Djernes

Notes:

Cai Mygind's book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev
Herred, page 44, gives information about Albrecht. He was born
at the family farm, Djernesgaard, and appears in the 1801
census at age 7. He later became a cattle dealer and
farmholder at Gottrup, Vester Han.

Notes:

Cai Mygind's book on families from Hanherred and Hillerslev
Herred provides Lars' birth year ( page 43), stating he was
born at Djernesgaard and other details about his life. Lars
became the owner of Djernesgaard in 1786; by this time it had
been in the family for some forty years. In the same year he
was married for the first time. The 1787 census shows Lars
Nielsen, 33, farmer and farm occupant (gaardbeboer) living in
Glµde bèye with wife Anne Marie Christensdatter, 18, and
daughter Giertrud Larsdatter, 1. Also in the household were
Anders Christendsen, 31, servant and national soldier and maid
Johanne Jensdatter.
Wife Anne Marie Christensdatter Rotb²l died in the summer
of 1800 leaving five children. Lars married again late in 1800
to Mariane Prµtzmann, with whom he had seven children who
survived to adulthood. Lars and Mariane are listed in the 1801
census in in Glµde bèye with the five surviving children from
Lars' first marriage along with servants Christen Jensen and
Anne Marie Larsdatter. In this census his name is given as
Lars Nielsen Diµrnis.
Lars remained the head of Djernesgaard until his death at
age 80. The census of 1834 showed all the surviving
children--Jens, Christen Kold, Svend, Lars, Karoline and Anne
Marie--by his second marriage except the eldest living at
Djernesgaard with Lars, 83 and Mariane and a maid. A close
examination of the parish records shows Lars actually fathered
eight children by his first wife and ten by the second. His
name was recorded as Laurids in the Lild Parish Register. He
was born at Diernesgaard. Witnesses at his baptism include
Anne Nielsdatter.

Lars married Anne Marie Christensdatter on 06 Jan 1786 in Lild, Vester Han, Thisted, Denmark. Anne was born in 1770 in Thisted, Denmark; died on 11 Jun 1800 in Lild, Vester Han, Thisted, Denmark; was buried after 11 Jun 1800 in Lild, Vester Han, Thisted, Denmark. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Cai Mygind, in his book on families from Hanherred and
Hillerslev Herred, page 43, states that Anne Marie was born at
Rotb²lgaard. She and husband Lars Nielsen Djernes had five
children who lived to grow up. She is listed in the 1787
census with her husband and year-old daughter, Giertrud.
Anne Marie was married at 16 and died in the summer of
1800 only 30 years of age, according to the Parish records.
She apparently died from complications resulting from
childbirth, since she had a child on June 2, and died on June
11.

Notes:

Cai Mygind, in his book on Hanherred and Hillerslev Herred
families, page 43, says that Niels and Karen moved from the
family farm, Djernesgard, when their son Lars Nielsen Djernes
became owner of it upon his marriage in 1786. They purchased,
from Thoger Pedersen Buxhauge for 395 rix-dollars, another farm
called Myrup near the sea.
The 1787 census for N²rklitt, Lild, lists Niels Christian
??, 63, as a farmer, cottager and harbor fisherman with wife
Karen Pedersdatter, 57 and children Peder, 22; Lars Christian,
20; Niels, 18; and Anne, 15. Also in the household was servant
Kirsten Christensdatter.

Niels married Karen Pedersdatter in 1751 in Lild, Vester Han, Thisted, Denmark. Karen was born about 1730 in Denmark; died after 1801 in Denmark. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Karen Pedersdatter, 57, is listed with her husband and four
children in the 1787 census for N²rklit, Lild. In 1801 she is
listed there as a 71 year old widow in a household with son
Niels Nielsen, 32 and two servants.
