do you have any more information on Carl Gottfried? "Vo(i)gt" is a quite frequent German surname...
As you know he died in Denmark in 1819 - do you know where exactly he died? You could try getting a certificate of death from the Danish office then which definitely encloses more info.
Soldat? Carl Gottfried Voigt.

there we go... "Soldat" means soldier - you mentioned he was a soldier in your first posting already.
Also, he was an apprentice to a mason: "Maurergeselle" and "Maurergefall" which is to be read as "Maurergesell" (I assume you deciphered this from a German handwriting).
His son Gottfried Emanuel was born on Febr. 26th (year?) and christened on March 11th in St. Petri Church.
His daughter was buried May, 8th (year?) "des Maurergesellen C.G. Vogt seine Tochter" = literally: "the mason-apprentice's his daughter". She died of an apoplexia/stroke in the age of 4 weeks.
Carl Gottfried Vogt died in October 1819 in Frederiks Hospital in Copenhagen of interior weakness. He was buried on Oct, 20th (place?).
You know now, Carl Gottfried Voigt died in Copenhagen in October 1819. The best way to get further information is certainly writing to the rectories of Copenhagen and ask whether they could look up the entry of death in their books; also the entry of marriage of March, 4th 1803 would be helpful - Carl Gottfried's parents will possibly be named.
Another (maybe cheaper and easier) way is getting to read the Mormon's microfilmed (church) books; try to find out where there is the next Mormon-Center where you can order such films.
---> The Mormons do have two entries of marriage for Carl Gottfried Voigt on their page;
one for Karen Hansen

The Mormons have two entries of marriage, but it is the same.
That's what I thought, too.
He was a Maurergesel 1804 - 1819.
He was buried St. Petri Church, a German Church.
Ah, I see - this is the only source that tells you he might have been German, right?
I have read church books St. Petri Church, Garnison and Frederiks Hospital all in Copenhagen.
And no where is a date or place where hi was born or exakt date.
This indeed is interesting - at least the entry of wedding should usually say where the couple was from.
Anyways - is there a possibility to contact a Danish military archive or something like that?! I guess they will be able to help you with this rather difficult file.
Do you have any idea, how old Carl was when he died, so that we could figure out at least an approximate birth year?! Do you also know his confession?
I'll try to see if I can find out some more info, too...
