Hi David, Ola Persson is listed as Sjöm., short for Sjöman or seaman. It looks like when he first joined the family in 1858 that he was also a foster child. Eskil's name was crossed out and replaced with Mårtensson likely because the priest realized he had written down the wrong patrynomic for Eskil. The letters next to his name I think are s[e]. p[agina] 315 (Hörby 75), where the family lived until 1853 when they moved to Lörby 16. You'll find them in AI:8 at Hörby 75, page 175. Bruk. is short for Brukare, which I think was a tenant farmer. I don't see any reason why Anna moved away, probably the family couldn't afford all those children and I would guess that the foster mother Bengta Mårtensdotter might have been related to Eskil, perhaps his older sister?
