Hi Paul,
 
Since Anders suggested that Dahivig is probably the name Dahlvig, I did a search on the Emigrant CD. There were only three hits.
 
Maybe this is your Elin. Elna is close to that name, Dalvigh is a very similar spelling, she seems about the right age, and she emigrated in 1884.

I checked the 1890 Swedish Census, on the fee-based Arkion site,and this was the only hit for the entire country of Sweden.
 
Homeparish: Ekeby
Residence: Gedsholm

Persons in the household
Fam nr: 1
Johannes Dalvig born 1857 in Söderviddinge M. l.(M.l. = Malmöhus län = county), statdräng
 
wife Christina Johannesdotter born 1865 in Skatelöf Kronob. l.(Kronoberg län)
 
 
d. Hilma Eleonora born 1889 in Söderviddinge M. l.(M.l. = Malmöhus län = county)
 
The modern spelling of Söderviddinge is Södervidinge, according to Cradled in Sweden.
 
Maybe they are connected, since the name is uncommon.
 
Good luck!
