[#75292] christening of Marcus Nielsen, about 1751, Ostfold

[Gjest Mark Shepherd]

My 5th ggfather Marcus Nielsen appears in the 1801 census, age 50, as a resident of Fredrikstad, along with wife Pernille Pedersdtr, along with one child from a previous marraige to Anne Hansdtr and six children from his marraige to Pernille. He married Anne Hansdtr on 28 Jan 1787 in Borge, and she died in 1789. He married Pernille Pederdr on 19 Jun 1791 in Borge. I have searched the Borge, Frerikstad, Skjeberg, and Tune church registers for his christening and have been unable to find it. Any help would be appreciated.Thank you,Mark Shepherd

I found his probable funeral in Glemmen 1809: Lenke (male no. 27). This Markus Nilsen died 27 Feb 1809, and was buried 12 Mar 1809, 53 years old. In that case he was born appr. 1756. The age in the 1801 census often is not exact.If I read correctly, he lived at Haugen on Nygaards grund. I think 'Nygaard grund' is the name of an area outside Fredrikstad itself.

The birth records for Glemmen for the years 1752 and following unfortunately are missing. I have not checked the nabouring registers.
