Dorthe Pedersdatter, couple of new generations

My fourth-great-grandmother was baptised March 17, 1778 in Skaeve, Hjørring, Dronninglund, Denmark.

Her parents were Peder JENSEN and Helle ANDERSDATTER.

1787 Her parents were 52 and 48 years old, and her father was "Mand Bonde og huusmand" Gentleman Peasant and ?
1801 both parents listed as 60, to her 26
marriage 21 Sep 1811 to Christen PEDERSEN
Their daughter Ane Sofie Christensdatter was the mother of Christian Peter POULSEN, the first of our POULSEN. His father was named as Poul Christian NIELSEN, no age given

Dorthe died in 1831 in her 53rd year.

Looking again I just found the marriage of her paternal grandparents in the IGI, and several other submitted records
Jens NIELSEN m. Dorothe HANSEN 5 May 1737 Skaeve, Hjorring, Denmark
A submtted record lists Jens Nielsen's birth as 1693 and burial 18 Jun 1775, Dorothe Hansen's christening 9 Mar 1707 and burial 24 Jan 1776, and her parents as Hans POULSEN and Maren NIELSEN., married 8 Nov 1705.

More unverified information:

Hans Paulsen b. 1678 of Skaeve, marriage 8 Nov 1705 Skaeve, buried 26 Dec 1748
Maren Nielsen bap 16 jun 1678 Skaeve bur 23 Feb 1757
- parents Niels Nielsen & Dorethe Lauridsen
Children: Dorothe 1707-1776, Maren 1709-1772, Mette 1712, Karen 1715, ?, Poul 1719, Anne 1720-1754, Niels 1723-1795

So Dorthe Pedersdatter was named for her grandmother Dorthe Hansen, who was named for her grandmother Dorethe Lauridsen.
