Are you still looking? Here's a candidate:

Recorded at Sankt Olai Kirke, Helsingør, Frederiksborg, Denmark
John William Hansen
Born 2 March 1833
Baptized 12. Mai i kirken (= in church)
Parents:
Jens Larsen Hansen, lods (an occupation)
og hust. (= and wife)
Birthe Christine Børgesen

It was tradition for a couple to name their first-born children after his parents (second-born children after hers) and J. William Hanson named his first daughter Bertha (which is an Anglicization of Birthe).

Same birth, in a different database:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XB63-19B

The job title lods = pilot, I believe. Below is the family in the 1834 Danish census, when the father's occupation is "Kongelig Lods" (royal pilot? like being in the navy??) It's my impression that young men in families with seagoing occupations were the most likely to travel abroad.

1834
Frederiksborg, Lynge-Kronborg, Helsingør Købstad, Helsingøers Kjøbstad, Strandgaden 358, 2, FT-1834, C7789
Jens Larsen Hansen 38 Gift Kongelig Lods
Berte Christine født Børgesen 31 Gift hans Kone
Cathrine Lissebet Hansen 9 Ugift deres Datter
Johanne Wilhelmmine 8 Ugift deres Datter
Tion William Hansen 1 Ugift deres Søn <---------------John William Hansen

Oops - I see this John is still in Denmark in 1860, although his job title is Sømand (= seaman). Sønnesøn = son's son (grandson), an error.

1860
Frederiksborg, Lynge-Kronborg, Helsingør Købstad, Helsingør Købstad, ikke angivet 392 b og 393 a, 1.sal, 346 - F2, FT-1860, D5383
Jens Larsen Hansen 63 Gift Lods Helsingør
Bertha Christine Børgesen 57 Gift Hans Kone Helsingør
Johan Vilhelm [Hansen] 27 Ugift Sønnesøn. Sømand Helsingør
Frederik Julius [Hansen] 21 Ugift Sønnesøn. Sømand Helsingør
Christian [Hansen] 15 Ugift Deres Søn Helsingør
Emilie Therese [Hansen] 23 Ugift Deres Datter Helsingør
