My distant cousin moved from Finland to Sweden, married there and then moved to Denmark. I need help
Now it is my turn to ask help, I usually help others, but Denmark is unfamiliar country for me.
Viktor Halme (in some records Holme or Halma) born 18 Jan 1877 in Finland married Anna Olivia Helander born 1873, married 23 June 1900 in Sweden.
I have found a record for them from Denmark, Copenhagen Police Registrations at 29. June 1903 in Hellerup. How I can find Hellerup parish records to find out if they are mentioned there and what happened to them after 1903?

You can browse through images of most Danish records by using www.sa.dk. Here are the records for Hellerup https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/geo/geo-collection/5
In this case I would also use Danish census records. Denmark did national censuses 1787, 1801, 1834, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916, 1921, 1925, 1930, and 1940. Starting in 1901 the exact birthday is listed for each person.
I just did a little searching for him in the Danish censuses using MyHeritage and I don't see him. I also checked the Swedish death index and did not find him there. I saw one note on a household exam in Sweden that said he was in London in 1902 so maybe he died in a totally different country. Those police registers you found were updated every time someone moved to the nearest May or November. So either he stayed in Hellerup for awhile or he moved pretty fast. I think the later is correct and there is probably actually little to find in Denmark
