At first I just looked at the posts you refered to, but now I have read the earlier posts as well.

Johan August Larsson was born in Lyrestad on June 19, 1862 (Lyrestad C:3; https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0023085_00028 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0023085_00028)). Parents: Lars Johan Johansson and Beata Andersdotter. But the birth record says that the family actually lived in Hassle, and a note was sent to the priest there. So he's noted in the birth record in Hassle too (Hassle C:6; https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00073137_00012 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00073137_00012)), but here his birth date is June 18.

Hassle is the main parish in what is called a pastorat in Swedish, which is parishes with the same priest. It's common that the parish name noted as the place a person is born in or moving to or from is the main parish of the pastorat, when in fact the person comes from one of the other parishes in the pastorat. In this case the family is living in Sörshyttlan in Enåsa parish (Enåsa AI:8, page 43; https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00073069_00048 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00073069_00048)).

Here you can see that the father Lars Johan Johansson was born in "H." (Hassle) on July 24, 1827. And there is a child with that name that day in Hassle birth record (Hassle C:5, page 143; https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0050633_00081 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0050633_00081)). Parents: Johan Johansson, crofter (torpare) at Kvarntorp (old spelling Qvarntorp), and his wife Greta Larsdotter.

Kvarntorp is also a place in Enåsa parish (Enåsa AI:5, page 11; https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0049987_00015 (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0049987_00015)). It says here that Johan is born in "H." (Hassle) on October 15, 1802. And Greta in "Frdsbrg" (Fredsberg) on January 21, 1797.

But never trust birth dates and birth places in household examination records. Always follow the persons back through earlier records.
