I know that you posted your question over five years ago, but I only saw it today. According to the Danish Emigration Records Louis Henriksen was born in Sleswig, Germany.

I have found no Dorthea Madsen born in the city of Ribe on the birth date you gave. However there is a section of Denmark called Ribe which includes the city of Ribe.

I understand from another posting that you have a painting made by his brother Peter of the street in Ribe, where they lived.

Could you post a picture of it, maybe I can recognize the place. I know Ribe quite well.
