Thanks ladies. Definitely the correct family with a number of them buried in the same cemetry.
Can I be really cheeky and ask if its possible to pick up this family on any census, from 1920 on wards. Its believed that they emigrated in 1916, possibly to Iowa or Nebraska:
Jens Peder Pedersen (b.1880), Johanne Jensine (b.1884); children: Ofelt (b.1905), Herluf (b.1906), Emma Henrietta (b.1909), Erma Gudrun (b.1910), Eric (b.1914), Helga Regetta (b.1915), Leona Margot (b.1917), Gladys Wanetta (b.1919), Lyle (b.1920), Norman Elvin (b.1923)
Thank you

Just brilliant. Thank you
All the data seems to tie in. I'll start checking the censuses again tonight. The goal being to find the place of birth for Jens Peder Pedersen, in Denmark, and then to use the online Danish archive services to see if any trace can be found for his parents.
May I offer that if you need any searches for Cumbria, in north west England, let me know and I'll happily pop into the county archive centre
Thanks

Your most welcome, pleased to have helped.
In reply 4 - the New York Passenger List the family arrived on gave Ofelt's birth as Jekinark"
Looking at the entry it seems to say the same for Jens Peter Pederson - also gives manifest markings to indicate the Jens and Johann were naturalized in the US in 1936/1939. Ofelt in 1926. Herluf in 1936. Emma in 1934. Erma in 1940. Erik in 1934 and Helga in 1940.
Think it also names his father in the very right hand column - looks like Jens as well

Oooohhhhhhhhhh
Is there a link to the New York passenger list? Is it the Ellis Island one?
