Where would I look to find a marriage record?

Recommended Posts

I have been looking for the marriage record for my husband's great grandmother.  Christence Marie Meyer (AkA Kristence; AKA Constance) was born Jan 2, 1851 in Bergen.  She was the daughter of Christian Magnus Meyer and Cecilia Fredrikke Ruus-Olsen.    She is listed as Kristence Marie in the 1865 Bergen census.  She next appears in the 1880 Copenhagen census with Niels Nielsen who was born in Holbaek, Denmark.  She is listed as Constance in this census.   According to the 1880 Copenhagen census, they were married in 1878. 

 

I have used all 3 versions of her name in searches here in the archives.  I have also searched in Danish databases.  So far, I have not found any marriage record for them.  Niels was a sailor and skipper until he was injured.  Could they have been married on board a ship? 

 

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance that you can give me.

 

Thank you

Tonia Nielsen

Thank you for your work.  However, I have all the information about the family except where Christence and Niels got married.  I have visited their grave site and seen pictures of where they lived in New Jersey and Florida.  Frithiof changed his name to Fred and was a carpenter.  He fell from a roof and broke his back.  I have found a lot about this family except where Christence and Niels married.  Niels Olof dropped his first name and went by Olof.  He loved Boxing and worked construction in New York.  Henry became an important man in Florida.  He has descendants living there today.  Christian was a miner in Illinois and was my husband's grandfather.  Their story is interesting.

 

Thank you at information for me.

Some times I have found references to marriage date and place in connection with baptisms in Denmark, but not this time. Going through other church books for other churches in Copenhagen (I have checked St. Jacob's 1878-1879) is one possibility, but you will have lots of work to do. Then again it is not certain that the couple was married in Copenhagen at all. There might be Danish newspapers which one can search in as well ...

Dag, thank you very much for your information.  I have bookmarked the sites you mentioned.  This was a very active family.  They lived in New Jersey for a while and lived in Copenhagen for a while.  In fact, one of them had to prove his American citizenship in order to prevent prison because he did not do his military service in Denmark.

 

Thank you

Tonia
