Also a decendent of Cornelius "Nels" Peter Holm via the Henry Paul Holm line.
I recently found the following 1787 Danish Census entry which may be our Cornelius Peter
København, København (Staden), Strand Kvarter, , , Hyskenstræde 38
Hans Christian Petersen 45 Gift Hosbonde
Anne Chatrine Cornelius 45 Gift Hans Kone
Cornelius Peter 11 Ugift Hans Søn af 1.Ægteskab
Johan Peter 2 Ugift Hans Søn af 1.Ægteskab
Maria Martelene 7 Ugift Hans Datter af 1.Ægteskab
Hyskenstræde 38 is the street address and still exists today
Søn af 1.Ægteskab means son of first wife so Anne Chatrine Cornelius is not Cornelius's mother. Wonder if she is a sister of his mother and the second wife of Hans Christian Petersen.

Got a lot more searching in the Danish census and church books to do.
