Denmark - Petersen Family
« on: Thursday 29 October 09 11:48 UTC (UK) »

My G G Grandfather was born in Denmark, between 1851 -1853+1 his name was Jacob Petersen his trade was listed as Blacksmith.   I beleive that he never left Denmark.

My Great Grandfather Peter Frederick Petersen was born in 1875, his trade was Fisherman.   He moved to England and lived in Hull.

I have no information at all on either of them in Denmark.  I paid for a Danish Researcher and he could not find anything I have logged onto various Danish official web sites no joy.

Can anyone start off on my quest for information on the Danish side of the family.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,310589.0.html - I see we've gone over some of this before.

Without a location in Denmark this is quite difficult, especially as Peter could have come over on a fishing boat and not be recorded leaving Denmark. In the 1911 census, does he give any location, or just "Denmark"?

If he was a fisherman then there might be some records for him in crew agreements. It is possible these might list what town he's from:

Who were the witnesses to his marriage?

Any luck with the documents that might give you a place in Denmark?

"Susan Jacbson" - there was a Hans Christian Jacobsen (b. Norway) who married Jane Pettman aka Jane Susannah (on the 1911 census), he's normally in censuses as Christian or variants thereof and was master of a fishing vessel in Grimsby in 1881.
There's also an Alfred Hatfield (no middle name) b. about 1862 in Grimsby who is around.

So probably these were not relatives, but connected by the fact that they lived nearby or that Peter worked with them, etc.
