Fivelstad is a small parish, just outside the city of Vadstena, in Östergötland. I do not think that the population was big enough to generate more than 1 or 2 births a month. There should be husförhörslängder for this period, but they are sometimes a bit scanty in this area.
The marriage record you cite for Eric Ek the elder says that he was a Life Grenadier and a widower, so he had been married before. Life Grenadier (livgrenadjär) is the title of the local infantry regiments (2 of them) in Östergötland. There are military documents (general muster rolls) that can tell a bit about a soldier's military achievements, but almost nothing on his personal life.
Fivelstad parish is in Aska härad (legal district) and the very helpful index to the estate inventories of this härad shows that Erik Ek the elder died in 1826 Nov.1 at his croft on Stubbetorp lands in Fivelstad, and that he left his widow Stina Hemmingsdotter and two sons, Johan , age 5, and Erik, age 3. Their paternal uncle Nils Sederlöf of Skänninge was present at the inventory-taking to look after the rights of the children.
If you want to post more queries about Fivelstad, I would suggest that you do that under the heading Landskap -Östergötland -socknar - Fivelstad.
