The Storm Family Peder Pedersen Storm Just Pedersen Storm Peder Justesen Storm Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm Frederik Peter Evald Hinnerup Storm This booklet is a biography of Peder Pedersen Storm and descendants. From the early 1970s to the mid 1990s my father Kai Madsen worked on the family tree of the Morell family and related branches. He compiled a number of booklets which were distributed to family members both in Denmark, Holland and in the US. This compendium is a translation of his work on the Storm family with additional comments and especially images. In general, pages consist of two sheets: a scan of my father's original text in Danish on one sheet and my translation on the next sheet. What I feel is missing in his work is the sources. Apart from frequently visits to national archives, Kai had great contacts to Preben Engsig-Karup, to Jay Larsen, Henning Kristensen and to Gerda Kristensen, who all contributed greatly. I wish to acknowledge Lise Larsen Pyles who has contributed with images scanned by husband Bill Pyles in San Antonio, Texas.

On the 19 Nov 1751, aged 29, he married the then 18 y.o. Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter (free translation: Thyge's daughter) Knabe in Assens Kirke (Assens Church). Having been married for seven years, they now had their first child and after twenty years they had in all seven children as follows: Anna Elisabeth born 20 Aug 1758 Maren - 28 Nov 1761 (died 19 Dec 1768) Just Pedersen Storm - 02 May 1766 Pernille - 03 Dec 1769 Maren - 16 Feb 1773 Tyge Pedersen Storm - 09 Apr 1775 Charlotte Elisabeth - 15 Mar 1778 According to the church book Anna Elisabeth carried her younger sister Charlotte Elisabeth at the baptism ceremony in church. At the census 1 Feb 1787 the family lived in Damgade 6 (translation: 6 Pond Street) in Assens. Here, the father had his shoemaker workshop. Only the youngest two children still lived at home. The mother died on 4 October 1787 aged 55 years, while the father Peder Pedersen Storm died on 13 Mar 1796 aged 74 years. He was buried on 18 March. - 4 - Just Pedersen Storm was born on 2 May 1766 (pronounce his name Just as in Yoost). He was the son of shoemaker Peder Pedersen Storm and wife Maria Elisabeth Thygesdatter Knabe. Like his father, Just became shoemaker. On 12 Oct 1792 he was married to 28 years old Ane Jørgensdatter in Assens Church. On 1 July 1793 they had their first baby, a girl who was baptized Maria Elisabeth Justsdatter (Just's daughter). Two years later on 23 Aug 1795 Ane had a boy who was baptized Jørgen Justesen Storm. Three years went and then Ane on 27 July 1798 had twins (girls). On 16 Aug they were baptised Maren and Anne Margrethe. The girls however did not live till the end of the year. The year after Ane once again gave labour to twins, again girls. They were born on 14 Aug 1799 and baptized Dorthe Anne Margrethe and Edel Margrethe. Dorthe died on 18 Sept only one month old. Thus the family had lost 3 children within a year. According to the census of 1 February 1801 Just Pedersen Storm was a shoemaker and the family lived Korsgade 3 in Assens and that the family had 5 members; the parents and the children Marie Elisabeth, Jørgen and Edel Margrethe. Next year, on 29 September, Ane had a boy who was baptised Peder Justesen Storm. Both boys became shoemakers and travelled to Copenhagen where they settled down. The family possibly left Assens, which had many shoemakers. Where the family went is not known. - 5 - Peder Justesen Storm was born on 29 Sept 1802 and was baptised in the church in Assens the same year. He had his Confirmation on the 15th Sunday after Easter 1817 and started apprenticeship as a shoemaker. Having completed apprenticeship, Peder travelled to Copenhagen, where he settled down. On 13 October 1827 his hometown sent him his certificate for birth, baptism, confirmation and vaccination. This certificate shown in appendix 2 he needed for applying for citizenship as a shoemaker. He received the certificate on 19 January 1828 (also shown in appendix 2). Later the same year on 12 August he was filed in the "Copulation protocol" and paid 4 Rigsbanksdaler (Danish currency before the Kroners) and 36 skilling (kind of shilling) in order to get married in Trinitatis Church to 29 y.o. Bertha Christine Rasmussen, born in Copenhagen. They settled down in Myntergade matricle nbr 44. Here, on 20 May 1829 Bertha had a boy who was baptised Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm. Four years later Bertha had another boy, who was named Just Emilius Harald Storm. The family moved to Skindergade nbr 8 (ground floor) (matricle nbr 23) where Peder established his workshop next to the family's appartment (the building is protected as a class B building and was renovated in 1977). By 1 February 1840 the family had four members plus a maid Sophie Gephardt and the then 16 y.o. apprentice shoemaker Hans Christian Holm. The same year the family on 1 October Peder hired the 36 y.o shoemaker J.Strers. It is not known how long Strers worked for Peder. Five years later, on 1 Februray 1845, the family had no maid according to the census. Instead the family had two apprentices, 19 y.o. Lorentz Tønnesen and 18 y.o. Carl Johan Kroll. By 1850 Valdemar had become musician and Harald had started as apprentice chimney sweeper. Apart from this the family included 21 y.o. apprentice Anders Frederiksen from Sonnerup. According to records, Valdemar and Harald still lived with their parents on 1 February 1855 and Peder employed two apprentices, 17. y.o. Adolf Ludvig Hellested and 18 y.o. Ferdinand Jørgensen. By 1 February 1860 the children have all left home and there are no apprentices employed. This could be interpreted the way that Peder had an shoemaker employed in his workshop. The family still lived Skindergade no. 8 and here Peder died on 9 August 1872. On 12 August Copenhageners could read the following on page 2 in the Address Newspaper (a directory perhaps): - 6 - That our noble, hard working Husband and Father Shoemaker Peter Justesen Storm 70 y.o., On the Night between the 8th and 9th August passed away quietly after a few Days of Illness, is hereby announced to Family and Friends V. Storm Bertha Christine Storm Royal Orchestra Musician born Rasmussen H. Storm District Manager The exact day of the funeral to be announced Bertha died on 13 April 1873, 75 y.o. She was buried on Trinitatis Assistents Church Cemetery on 20 April 1873. - 7 - Frederik Christian Valdemar Storm was born at Myntergade (Mynter Street) matricle no. 44 on 20 May 1829 and was baptised in Trinitatis Church on 12 July 1829. He had his confirmation in the same church in October 1843. The family moved from Myntergade to Skindergade no. 8 (matricle no. 23), where his father set up his shoemaker workshop next to the family's apartment. Valdemar had a very musical talent. Having finished school he decided to become a musician and as such he was recorded at the census of 1850 while he was still living with his parents. At the military conscription on 20 March 1849 he got session no. 288, however he was found tiny and weak and was sent home in order to gain weight. Valdemar turned up for another conscription in 1852. Again he was sent home with the notification: flat chested with no visible sign of any chest illness. His height measured 168.5 centimeters (about 5 foot 6 inches). In 1853 he got no. 977 and was assigned for the military reserves, where he was to do service at the infantery in 1854. It seems however that he never did military duty. According to the census records of 1 February 1860 Valdemar didn't live at home any longer (with his parents). On 9 November 1865 Valdemar paid 4 Rbd (Rigsbanks Daler, probably similar to Dollars) to become registered in the Copulation Protocol (a register for weddings of some sort). The next day, on the 10 November 1865, Royal Orchestra Musician F.C.Valdemar Storm was married at Garnison Church (military church) to Ane Petrine Frederikke Hinnerup. She was born on 24 June 1834 as daughter of Royal Mint (Coin) Master and Assay Master Peter Reimer Hinnerup and wife Inger Helene Tømmerbye. Best man was P. Storm living at Skindergade no. 8 and P.R.Hinnerup living at Nyhavn no. 26. The couple settled down at Nyhavn no. 26, an apartment block owned by the Royal Coinage and located not far from the Royal Theatre where Valdemar was employed as a violinist.
