Need help deciphering this census record
I am trying to find one of my ancestors, Ane Sophie Pedersen. Sometime after she was 16, she was not living with her family anymore. Her family was living in Fardrup, Soro, in 1845. This is a census from 1855 in nearby Slagelse. I am trying to piece together whether or not this could be her, but I am confused at why it shows that she is married, but no spouse is listed, and I can't decipher what it says in the column where there are extra comments. (She is the seventh name from the bottom of the page.) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

I believe that the census indicates that Ane Sophie Pedersen is the daughter of Peder Hansen, who is the head of the house. The remarks column indicates that, at least, the two unmarried children above her name, Niels and Lucie, are the children of Peder Hansen and Dorthea Olsen-the bracket there may also indicate that Ane Sophie is their daughter. The birth places of the mother and the 3 people following her name is "here in the parish", which is, I think, Tårnborg, Slagelse, Sorø, Denmark. The remarks concerning Ane Sophie are that she is supported by Peder Hansen and she is a servant in Nerr.........? (probably a nearby place). She is probably the Ane Sophie Pedersen in this family on Family Search Tree-https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KCXK-PX6 and this family in 1840 Census indexed in DanishFamilySearch: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid3862574.
The census definitely indicates that she is married. There are several possible reasons that her husband is not on the census-he may have been working elsewhere, or in the military. At any rate, he wasn't there on the day of the census (1 February 1855).
This is the marriage, in Tårnborg, of bachelor Jens Larsen and maid Ane Sophie Pedersen on 26 December 1854. One of the bondsmen is Peder Hansen (the same name as Ane Sophie's father), so this is probably the same person in your census record: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?bsid=427649#427649,78490071.
I hope this helps.
