Poul Larsen

1 MISC Day-Labourer (Daglejer)


Poul Larsen was a fisherman's son working as a farmhand when he marriedthe farmer's somewhat older step-daughter, but her family did not approveof the marriage and declined to witness at the wedding. So instead thewitnesses at the wedding were fisherman Lars Svendsen and tailor HansPeter Larsen, both of Listed.

It does not say much for Poul Larsen that his daughter Anne Margrethe'sbirth was never properly registered, and that furthermore he did not haveany contact with her at the time of her confirmation, "his where aboutsunknown" (faderens opholdssted var ukendt).

Cecilie's father had died nine years before her marriage, and if therewas anything left of her inheritance it soon disappeared after herwedding. Probate records for Bornholm's east county show Cecilie Dich ashaving died on March 12, 1842, and that "Indsidder Poul Larsens" wifeCecilie Hansdatter of Ypnested was buried at the expense of the publiccoffer.
