Pedersen - census record
« on: Wednesday 09 March 11 16:35 GMT (UK) »
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
Stenson, anywhere any dates
