Translation: Danish Birth record for Ole Christian Christensen, b. 16 January 1829, Brønderslev

Tanner and others, Thanks for being so helpful. I am looking for a translation of the birth record of Ole Christian Christensen, b. 16 January 1829 in Brønderslev parish. A translation of both the entry and the witnesses would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Using the colored images of the Arkivalieronline: He is in the men's birth list from 1815 to 1839. Image no. 29 of 51, last entry on page.

Here's a link to the image so that it's easier for others to find: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=411523#411523,75950640

I'm not reading this very well myself. The mother's name is listed first, indicating she likely wasn't married. I think her name was Maren Olsdatter.

I'll let the experts help you with the rest. : )

Jill, here you go:

 

On 16 Jan 1829 was born the illegitimate son [written Slagfredssøn; see the Danish to English Genealogical Word List] Ole Christjan Christensen.

The mother, Oline Marie Olesdatter, housed at Niels Jensen Kagløs's [place] in town; the father is said to be the farmhand Christen Nielsen (?? Niels's son in the town), serving/working in Wester-Linderup Tolstrup parish.

The child was baptized in the church [in Brønderslev] on 18 Jan 1829.

The godparents were the unmarried Inger Nielsdatter, serving [written tienende, usually written tjenende] farmer Ole ?? in Øster Brønderslev, Anne Andersdatter, ?? [looks like doctigd; the word is listed again on line 12 of the next image, and there it looks like Doctigmed; @Tanner Blair Tolman​, do you know this word?] in the town, farmer Christen [written Xsten] Pedersen ?? [looks like doctigd], houseman Niels Jensen Kagløs, as well as the farmhand [written Karlen] Fredreik Jensen, all in the town.

Thanks, Charlotte. I appreciate your help. So "Kagløs" was part of his name or like a farm name in Norway in that is separated various Neils Jensens? I thought it was an occupation, but I couldn't find it in any dictionary. If you get the translation of "doctigd" I would appreciate it. JM

Jill Morelli

@Tanner Blair Tolman​ @Charlotte Noelle Champenois​ I think the word "Doctigd" might be "Doctoryd/Doctryd" which might be the farm in Øster Brønderslev of "Doktorgaard." Kogløs may be "Krogen, Krogenskær, Krogensmark, or Krogaarden," all farms in Brønderslev.

Charlotte Noelle Champenois

Wonderful find! That makes complete sense. I was wondering if it might be a location, but I couldn't find anything like it in the parishes I checked. On the next image, where I found a slightly longer version of the word, it can easily be Doctigaard--it just has a vowel change from "Doktorgaard," so I agree this must be it.

Tanner Blair Tolman

To me it looks like the priest wrote "Doctryd" so yes that should be it.
