Confirmation record question

This Confirmation record for Anders Peter Larsen (1858, entry #1) includes three additional names: Anders Christensen, Lars Andersen, and Kirsten Jensdatter.

It is my understanding, based on other sources, that Lars and Kirsten are Anders' parents. (I think Ander Christensen might be his great-grandfather...)

I would appreciate some interpretation with the other words in that list. My guesses have not yielded results in the Danish Genealogy Word list.

Thanks in advance,

In the column for "Parents or head of the house" it reads: "Indsidder hos Søgnefoged Anders Christensen Wadmand, Lars Andersen (kaldet Wadmand), og hustrun Kirsten Jensdatter Gjøttrup". That translates to "Renter (or tenant) with parish constable/sheriff Anders Christensen Wadmand, Lars Andersen (called Wadmand) and wife Kirsten Jensdatter (in) Gjøttrup".

I don't see there is any relationship between Lars Andersen and Anders Christensen Wadmand other than a financial one-ie, Lars Andersen rents (a farm or house) from Anders Christensen Wadmand. (It is possible they are relatives, but that is not mentioned in the records.)

In all of the censuses where Lars Andersen and Anders Christensen Wadmand are together, Lars is listed as a "tienstefolk = servant" or "indsidder = renter or tenant" (never as a son or grandson). See here:
