Helene Pedersdatter

Notes:

In the census of 1834, Helene was a housekeeper for Casper
Djernes in Kaerup parsonage. She married him in 1836. Twin
boys were born in 1838, but Helene and Casper sent one of their
infant twins to live with Casper's mother at Diernesgêard. A
daughter was born in 1842, but by this time Casper was living
with some of his family at Rotb²lgêard. After his death in
August of that year, Helene went to live with her own parents,
farmer Peder Thomassen and Karen Andersdatter.
In 1844 she married her brother-in-law, Lars Larsen
Djernes, and moved with him and her children to Madsb²l. The
1845 census for Thisted, Hillerslev, Hjardemaal, Klitten, En
gaard, Madsb²ll, shows Helene with Lars and two
children--Christian, 7, and Marie, 4, both listed as
Diµrnis--and two servants, Lars Nielsen, 18, from Hjardemaal,
and Johanne Pedersdatter, 24, from Arup. The 1850 census shows
the family still at Madsb²ll with Lars and Helene each 38 years
old, and the children now enumerated as Lars Chr Larsen, 12,
born in T²mmerby; Sophie Marie Larsdatter, 9, born in Lild,
Caspara Larsen, 4, born in Hjardemaal and Casper Josva
Prµtzmann Larsen, 1, born in Hjardemaal. Maren Ludvigsdatter,
10, listed as a foster daughter, born in Hjardemaal was also in
the household. At this point I don't know whether or not she
was related in some way.
Helene's second marriage was not a happy one; Lars drank,
gambled,and did not look after his property. Helene and Lars
had four children, but finally Helene separated from her
husband, by then known as Lars Madsb²l. She bought a small
homestead in Kaeret, Lild about 1865, eldest son Lars Christian
and youngest son Erik joining her. She kept house for Lars
Christian, who had become a widower after only a year of
marriage, and lived to welcome Lars' second wife when he
married again in 1876. Helene died alone 21 Feb 1878 when Lars
and his wife were away from home. Lars' daughter, little
Helene, heard strange noises from her grandmother, but by the
time she could fetch neighbors, Helene had died.The Parish
record of her death and burial refers to her as the separated
wife of Lars Larsen Djernµs.
