Arne,
 
Thank you very much for adding to this discussion.  
 
As I understand it now, Per Månsson was born in Skattegård in Stenstorp, 1687; was living in Stommen in Bolum when he married in 1724; and was there when he died in 1744. (Yes, the latter two events are definitely my Per and the birth fits).  
 
Kirsten was born about 1703 in Stenstorp (yr. in death record).  The only two possible births I can find (looking for several years both sides 1703) are in 1702, daughter of Johan, C:1, Bild 34, Sida 51 or the unnamed child of Jon Gunnarsson in 1703, living in (Brunnhem?) C:1 Bild 35, Sida52.  What is the abbreviation to the right of N: in that record? I don't find a death record for either up to 1710. Would the child of a Johan use the form Jon?  The Kirsten you mentioned is not this one.  Mine died in 1785 while living with her daughter Catharina in Lilla Backgården, Segerstad.  
 
Catharina was a bit of a puzzle. Her three hfl records at Lilla Backgården all give her birth date as 1727 in Broddetorp.  I've searched numerous times 8 or 10 years before and after 1727 and in the other nearby parishes, and the only Catharina with the right set of parents was born in 1735 (20 May). Returning to it, I now see that they were living at Stommen in Bolum, so I'm satisfied finally it is the right birth. (C:2, Bild 166, Sida 348)
 
What would have been the meaning of Stommen in the 1700s? Was it simply a farm or village name?  Both my modern and an online download of a 19th century dictionary gave framework, unfinished house, etc.
 
This has been a very rewarding day as lots of problems have been resolved. Thank you again for your help.
