Okay, I see the problem, all the church books are lost to a fire. That complicates things a bit. They had a lot of children in Långaröd. Hanna born 1845, Hanna 1847, Håkan 1848, Nils 1851, Ola 1852, Nils 1854, Per 1857, Anders 1859 and Måns 1861. Find those in the birth book and write down the sponsors, these were often family to the parents. I just checked one of the children, Anders, and one of the sponsors were Karna Nilsdotter from Andrarum. A sister to Elna? Try to find sponsors with the last name Håkansson/dotter and Nilsson/dotter and also remeber that people with other names could be married to Olas and Elnas brothers or sisters. The sponsors could also be neigbours or just friends to the family. A lot of detective work but it will not be easy without the lost books.
I checked for Håkan in the house exams that was made every time someone died. One Håkan Hansson in Skallbo, Andrarum died 1827 and left his wife Karna Persdotter with five children, Ola 9 years, Per 6 years, Ingar 12 years, Elna 3 years and Karna 1 year. Your Ola Håkansson would be 11 years in 1827 but it is still close enough to be interesting. If you can find any of the other as sponsors for Olas and Elnas kids, that would be very interesting.
