It does seem like the parents of Per Persson (born 1756) were also called Per Persson and Kerstin Olofsdotter, both according to recedency records and birth records. A remarkable coincidence indeed!


Their years of birth are listed as 1707 and 1715 in the recedency records (Skog AI:2 (1760-1787) Bild 62 / sid 57) though this should be taken with a pinch of salt. The only truly reliable source for birth dates are the birth records.


On the topic of birth records, the reason you could not find any records from Lingbo parish older than 1899 is that the parish of Lingbo was created comparatively recently. Before 1899, births, deaths etc. in Lingbo would have been recorded in the record books for Skog, since Lingbo was still part of Skog at the time.


Approximate dates of death can often be found in recedency records because of their chronological nature. People who are crossed out have either moved or died, and the vicar will often have noted which was the case and a year, giving an approximate time for moving or death. E.g. in the reference I provided above, Kerstin Olofsdotters name has been crossed out and the year 1772 added in the column at the far right with the header "mortui".


If there are no recedency records for the relevant time period or they have been sloppily kept, the bouppteckning is another source for an approximate date of death. Had there not been a recedency record, I could have gotten an approximate date of death for Kerstin Olofsdotter through her bouppteckning (Hanebo tingslags häradsrätt FII:2 (1771-1779) Bild 73 / sid 33) which I found  by consulting the index (Hanebo tingslags häradsrätt BouReg:1 (1759-1849) Bild 1250 / sid 118).
Since the bouppteckning was made on the 12th of october, she must have died before this date, but usually within a year of it. Bouppteckningar were not made for everyone, so if you find nothing there either, you will have to resort to picking through the records year by year.


The sources mentioned above must naturally only be used to point you in the right direction, and then verified through death records, which show that Kerstin Olofsdotter died on the 20th of april 1772 (Skog C:2 (1738-1799) Bild 2080).
