Need help with places in Danish Marriage Record and words in 1803 Denmark Census
1) In the November 1802 marriage record below, I would like to know the place/word where Jef Hansen was of. Also, Anna Mette Bangs was of Vester Vedsted, but what is the word after "Bangs?" Vester Vedsted Parish, (Ribe, Denmark), “Enesteministerialblog, 1665-1814: 1773 V- 1811V,” p. 29, Rigsarkivet (https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?epid=17127928#171982,28874065
2) In the 1803 Census Jef Hanses's profession was Hufner. Also, the two elders in the household had the profession of Abnahmeleute. What were these professions? Additionally, the child in the household was "ersteren Schwester Sohn" which seems to translate to first sister son. Is there any way to know if it's the husband or wife's nephew?
1803 Census of Denmark, Vester Vedsted, Ribe, Ribe, Denmark, Family no. 11, Anne Mette Bangs; DanishFamilySearch (https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid1979985. Also, Rigsarkivet (https://ddd.dda.dk/asp/alle_opl.asp.
Thank you!

The word after Bangs is begge meaning "both". https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=171982#171982,28874065

It's possible Hans Jepsen is the father of the groom. Possible match seen in a not too far away parish, Tjæreborg in the 1787 and 1801 censuses.

Thank you! I will check the 1787 and 1801 censuses for that. It seens that he's from Vester Vedsted ("Both"), but do we know what the place after "Jef Hansen of" is?
Also, any guess on the professions in the 1803 census?
Thank you so much for your help!

This record indicates the couple are "both" from Vester Vedsted. From that parish, but not necessarily born there. I think it's a good possibility that Jef (Jep) is born in Tjæreborg. I looked at the military levying roll to see if I could find a man born in 1770 with a father named Hans and yes there is. He goes on the roll when it starts in 1791 and the father is Hans Jepsen. The next roll a year later shows the same father/son entry. 1875 this individual is marked off the roll, so he is released from his military obligation. It was my hope we would be able to "follow" him from Tjæreborg parish to Vester Vedsted. https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#17828,915397 and then https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#17832,916448 and last entry: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#17834,916876
When you examine the 1787 census you likely won't see Jef (Jep) with his family because he is old enough to be out of the home. If you study the christenings of his children you may see witnesses that match his parents or siblings.

Once again, thank you for all of your help!
Before I reached out I had seen Hans Jepsen in the earlier censuses in Tjæreborg, but his wife was not identified as Maren and I put it aside. I still have to look into the discrepancy in wives' names to make sure it is the same father and son, but your guidance to the military rolls is great!
I do have a follow up question on the rolls. I was able to find the 1795 roll where Jef was removed from the military. https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16481031#17834,916876
The new residence listed is obviously not Vester Vedsted, but I can not make out what it does say. Can you identify the place?
Also, am I correct that the comments say he was a "LS" rural land soldier? Do any of the comments explain why he was release?

He could have had two wives, explaining the different names. It says he was living in Krogsgaard (village in Tjæreburg) at the time of his release but I'm unable to determine why he was released, sorry.
