Hi all,
I found an 1845 Danish census on Ancestry that lists my 4th GG working as a Bødker Bindermadre. I know the first word is "cooper", but I can't find a translation for "Bindermadre" anywhere. It was possibly mistranscribed. Would anyone know what this term means?
Thank you!

For what it is worth, Google translate says that bindermadre is mother-in-law.

Can you post the original census to check what was really written?

Hi Zefiro,
I updated my original post with a screenshot of the census. Please let me know if you don't see it—thank you!

I have done extensive Danish research re an ancestor and I use facebook
"Genealogical Translations". You just post the url to the record and someone Danish will translate it for you. Its invaluable. Google translate is ok, but so many of the translations are be off which can change the whole meaning.
