Requesting assistance with Constance Marie Meyer

[Tonia Nielsen]

I am looking for the marriage record of Constance/Kristence/Christence Marie Meyer.  According to the 1880 Copenhagen, Denmark, census, Constance married Niels Nielsen in 1878.  Also according to that census, they came to Copenhagen in 1878.  Constance is Norwegian while Niels is Danish.  She was born Jan 2, 1851, in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway.  She was the daughter of Christian Magnus Meyer and Cecilia Fredrikke Ruus-Olsen.  Constance was living with her parents and siblings in 1865 in Fjell (1865 census for Fjell, Hordaland, Norway; District: 013 10de Skoledistrikt).  Since I did not know where to start looking for the marriage record, I have looked at the Bergen parishes, the Sund parishes, and the Fjell parishes.  In particular, I looked at the year 1878.  I did not find them in any of the parish records.  Since there are many other parishes, I then decided to try and find Constance in the 1875 census.  Three of her sisters are listed in the 1875 census for Bergen (rode 8 -- 32 page 1029)  She is not listed with her sisters on that page.  I have not looked at the entire 1875 Bergen census at this time.  However, since she is not living with her sisters, I did not think she was in Bergen.  So, I am currently looking through the 1875 census for Fjeld(Fjell) since she was living in Fjell in 1865.  I have only reached page 174 of the Fjell census at this time.  I thought if I could find her in the 1875 census, I would be able to determine which parish might contain her marriage record.  I do realize that she might not have been married in Norway,  However, since she was Norwegian, this is the place to start.  I have attached a record of her family.  It does not contain her husband & his information.  I greatly appreciate any guidance or information that you can give me.

Thank you very much.

Ann-Mary, thank you for telling me to also post this in Brukernes eget forum.  I really do not know where else to look other than looking through all the census records.  Cecilia Fredrikke Russ-Olsen died April 19, 1875.  So, she would not appear in the 1875 census.  I do have the emigration records for Christence & Niels.  They stayed in Copenhagen until 1891.  He applied for & received permission to leave Denmark on April 17, 1891.  He became a naturalized United States Citizen.  He and his family did travel back & forth to Denmark and did stay in Copenhagen for a while.   Thanks to a Swedish cousin,  the archive volunteers and years of research, I have found everything about Niels & Constance except where they married.  I have not worked on the Nielsen family constantly.  I work on other lines for awhile and then come back to them.  I may never find where they married but any suggesting as to where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much
