Welcome @Allan M Maughan I believe the grooms name is Jens Christensen. You'll see this couple in the FamilySearch tree, but with little information. Both of these individuals will be in the 1801 census. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MFNL-56M Thank you so much for the great links you provided! Update... I see you have this couple in the FS tree.

Thank you for your response. I need to be a little more specific. I'm trying to resolve a possible duplicate between Jens Christensen KNSN-CDW and Jens Christensen Stumpedysse MFNL-56M. In the marriage record it is the word before "Jens" and the characters between
"Christensen" and "og" that I find troubling. An IGI extraction of the latter turned it into a name "Stumpedysse" and the document is source attached to that record. I am not confident in the name "Stumpedysse" as I have found it nowhere else. I am wondering if there is some other meaning for these characters. Any insights will be appreciated.

@Allan M Maughan I was unfamiliar with the word (Stumpedysse) so I studied and asked some friends for help. Here is a link to a map someone suggested. https://map.krak.dk/s/stumpedysse%20hegn?fbclid=IwAR0DmFHHuVSjzrWX5PaOccNneGW-qTYwEh-eSQ7RYfcFQ87gfG0tsgYXTes This is a modern map. A Sten-dysse are old grave-markings. (large stones)
Stump means blunt.
If you decide to merge the two individuals I'd be sure to keep or take note of this unique identifier, it could prove later to be very helpful.

Similar words, Stumpe-dysser, Sten-dysser, jæte-stuer. Jens may have lived near such a place.

This was shared by someone who knows the area. It's in Danish but you'll see a great map and photo of the stones. https://www.naturstyrelsen.dk/media/nst/89800/Tokkekob%20Hegn_221113_Web.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2h5NLFeH4gHmO9bSkO-vKDdSRXIdUn1YKNsRfoGI9goXrVEqVpKPTjjLg

My friend writes...Birkerød Inn has address on stumpedyssevej in Hørsholm.
It an old and well-known Inn.

Thank you. In examining the Google Earth display of the area you previously identified, I found a narrow road named Stumpedysseveg. It runs east to west for about 3 miles starting 1 mile west of Isterød, Birkerød, Frederiksborg, which is the general area for this family. It is just as close to the Hørsholm you mentioned. In examining other marriage entries in the same record, it appears that the priest sometimes identified the groom's residence. While I have not found a place named Stumpedysse, I now interpret it as a geographic area in the parish known to the people at the time. I am prepared to proceed with the merge, making a note on the IGI source explaining this interpretation.
You and your friends have been most helpful. Thanks again.

You are so welcome, I learned a lot too in the process. I thought a merge was an accurate choice. There are some amazing people who have helped me and I try to do the same.
