I had hoped to find Thomas on a tilgangliste (list of people coming into the parish) but the one I found only went through about 1860. The parish records however, are available online (free) at Arkiveronline. (And I can always forward the ones that I did find to you too) Thomas Petersen and Birthe Marie Lund were married May 4 1880 in Rodding parish. And there is a birth record for a Birthe Marie Lund who was born May 27 1856 to Hans Lund and Kirstine Strögaard in Rodding that might be her. I didn't find a Thomas Petersen born in Rodding around the correct time, but there was one who was born in Sønder Hygum (parish directly to the west of Rodding) in 1850 that might be right. Unfortunately I can't pin those down for you....maybe there is someone who is more familiar with or who has access to records that I don't....?
