The only information I have on him is that he was born in Vestervig in Denmark in 1880, lived for a few years in England and a few years in New Zealand before coming to Australia. He served in WW 1 for Australia as an engineer for the Australian Imperial Expeditionary Force. We have no information on his family and would love to track down the family he left behind in Denmark

Also, if you are in Australia, it should be possible to get a copy of the marriage registration in Sydney and this should give name of his Father and maybe his Mum. 1901 census Peter JensOn. 21. 1880 Boarder.
