Interesting, -
from where did your Peter get the money to buy an estate?
Who is Master Mason? Is it a name of a person? Why is the son called Quist?
(There is a huge Quist-family in Denmark, - many of them have been serving
the church).

About the marriage of the younger sister, I guess that she has been living
in Copenhagen, - her address has been in Trinitatis parish which is a parish
with a more beautiful and romantic (!) church than in Kirkerup. Have you
seen where she was living in the census in 1955?

mvh

This being so, I have a question. My Peter Martin Quist, who was born in
1821 in Copenhagen City, was the son of a Master Mason and Chief of the Fire
Brigade. He then bought the estate Grinderslevkloster in Viborg in 1843.
In 1845, he married the daughter of another farm owner and had several
children. In 1851 he sold Grinderslevkloster and bought another farm in
Kirkerup parish called Søgaard from his wife's father. When his wife died in
1856, he married her younger sister in 1857. The first marriage took place
in Kirkerup, the local parrish where his wives grew up. The second took
place in Trinitatis in Copenhagen. My question is, why the second marriage
should have taken place away from where his second wife was born and raised?
Any ideas?
