Lauritz Hermansen (1855-1903) — any Danish research experts?!

[TuTuTulip]

This record shows Alma and Lauritz divorce:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/billedviser?bsid=258413#258413,48192690 - 12/1882 - bottom right.

"Skilsmisseopgørelse" is Divorce settlement.

Over the page on the right in the middle it states that in May 1878 he had travelled to Hamburg. He then had travelled on to Australia.

This is not a translation as it is very difficult to read and my Danish isn't upto it either. I understand a little of it but I get the jist of it.

Is anyone able to further the translate divorce settlement? Obviously not word for word, but to give a general idea of what else is mentioned?

Lauritz mother's surname was Terkelsen.

Her birth record:
1829 - Garnisons Parish Copenhagen:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?epid=21618415#380081,73916873 - nr 24

I note on the birth record that Lauritz’s mother’s name is slightly different — it looks like Magdalene Amalia Frobos (I’m not sure what is written underneath that)? Is it possible she altered her name to Amalie Magdalene Frøbøsse when she gave birth at Fødselsstiftelsen (for anonymity reasons)?

The word under her name is "uægte" meaning illegitimate.
In this case her mother's name is recorded first. The father was recorded as Johan Heinrich Frobøs.
I think that no one knew how to spell his surname so that is probably the reason why there are many variations.

1849 - Birth - 22 Dec - Lauritz Herman Frøbøsse:

1850 - Birth - 28 March - Henriette Marie Hermansen - Lauritz's sister:
https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=16415220#25,18845 - nr 174

Is anyone able to translate the information written on Lauritz's birth record?

Not easy I'm afraid. It's not the translation but the deciphering that is difficult.

What I can make out is that she was 21 years old and born in Copenhagen and there is a street name at the end.

I cannot do it unfortunately. If it was Swedish I would give a real go. You may have to pay someone to do it as it is very difficult to read. It is quite a few pages too. I have tried to make a headway but no go.

Incredible! I have spent much of today reading over each of the posts and looking up the links — I am overwhelmed by everyone’s helpfulness and generosity of time. I am incredibly thankful for the research skills .........

You're welcome, just glad to help out.

Interestingly it states "Deceased labourer Larvids Hermansen"

Fascinating! I wonder if that's what Signe believed about her father or whether it was considered scandalous to be the child of divorced parents? At the time of Singe's confirmation the New Zealand Lauritz was certainly alive and kicking, living it up with a new Danish wife and two children! 

Ian, do you know what the mg means in the last column?

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Isabel — really appreciate it.
