I am Thorkil Hansen Skytt's great  grandaughter. I live in Melbourne Australia and I was born in Wanganui NZ. My great grandmother Alice Nottingham married Thorkil and had 5 children with him. My grandfather William Henry Hansen,their eldest son, was born in1882 and died in 1944. Thorkil had a serious drinking problem and Alice left him and had a daughter Ellen with Frank Salmon. Ellen married Lou Hopkins and lived in Akaroa NZ to the great age of 102.  In her later years Alice lived with Ellen until she died in 1950 at 85. The story of Thorkil and Alice is a sad one as the three girls spent time in state care; Mette, Alice Christina and Sarah Ann. When I was young I met a son of Hans Thorkilsen, Thorkil's other son.  He represented NZ in wrestling in the 1956 Olympics. I had no contact with Thorkil and Alice's daughters or Hans Thorkilson but Ellen was always in contact with our family and I saw her last when she was 100. She was a very special person. Thank you for information about our Danish heritage.

Hello!

In marriage were born 3 children.
1. Hans Hansen Skyt, born on 17 July 1874
2. Mette Marie Skytt, born 12 February 1878
3. Kirstine Marie Skytt, born on 10 March 1883

Hans Hansen Skyt were married on 27 August 1898, Gjesten church with Kristine Marie Petersen born Gjørding January 27, 1872.

2. Andrea Marie Skyt, born on 2 May 1901
3. Eskild Kristian Hansen Skyt, born 19 May 1903
4. Hans Hansen Skyt, born on 27 May 1909

My grandmother came to Andreas Hansen Skyt, as domestic servants, after his
first wife's death. he was probably a little warm on this young woman, too short
time after they were married. , 12 August 1915
Mikkeline had 3 children when she arrived, namely
Eli Karl Pedersen, born March 29, 1911
Christian Pedersen, born February 25, 1913 (that's my dad)
Nilsine Andrea Pedersen, born January 15, 1915

I think the reason I and my brother was named Skytt, lies in
that my father really appreciated the Andreas Hansen Skyt and my dad told
me many things, from the time when they lived together.
Andreas was in the war 1864, where he was wounded France
Hans position was smallholder Gjesten.

Mvh. Max Skytt
