Ledøje School Census, 1739

Translation of Terms in English

On 31 Dec 1738 the teacher said that a list was not kept because all the children were present and the measles sickness prevented a better record and that none from Aagerup village had been to school except for one child for two days. The second quarter in March 1739 and the third quarter in Sep 1739 included complete lists, which gave slightly different information and should be carefully compared. The second list included much more information, including the ages of the children.

Two lists were found for the school children in Ledøje & Ågerup:

• 31 Mar 1739
• 14 Sep 1739

These lists are part of a packet in the Landsarkivet Sjælland in Copenhagen under the title, “Københavnsamt. Breve fra diverse Embedsmænd og partikulære Personer, 1739" [Copenhagen County. Documents from diverse officials and individuals, 1739]. Following is a transcript of these four lists.
