Niels C. Jensen
Company and emigration records erroneously show a surname of "Kok." This is the Danish word for chef or cook. Jorgen was a baker. There was likely some confusion with the clerks when transcribing foreign language data.
He came on the ship, Monarch of the Sea in 1861 with his father, Jorgen, mother, Ane Mette and siblings, Niels, and Michael.
His birth and death dates are confirmed by his death certificate. The death date inscribed on his gravestone is incorrect.
