I have a bit of a mystery here. I am researching my ancestor Poul Christensen and I recently found what I thought was him on the 1801 census. I don't know if I am identifying the record correctly so someone can look it up. It is 1801-telling for Froen. He is number 4606. It is the correct Mother but obviously not the correct father. Do I understand this is her 2nd mariage? I am wondering if she was ever married to the father Christen Olsen. Poul's birth can be seen at Vågå 1739 - 1810 ministerialbok, page 67, 4th column 6th record where the Mother Gunhild Poulsdatter is listed first. In Denmark this usually indicates an illegitimate birth. Later I have Christen Olsen Married to Kari Engbrethsdatter 16 July 1780.
Also I do not think Poul was married to Marit Isaksdatter (Rustom) whose daughter Gunhild Poulsdatter I am descended from. Gunhild was born September 1804. In 30 October 1814 I have Poul married to Kari Syversdatter.
I have been searching but can not find the death of either Poul or his Mother.
Would appreciate any help in verifying my assumptions or any other light that can be shown on this family.
