Parents of Brita Tinberg, 1687-1774, Bjurtjärn, Värmland

[Kevin Casey]

I'm trying to locate the parents of Brita Tinberg, born about 1687, died in Jan, 1774 in Bjurtjärn, Värmland (mentioned back in this very old thread: https://forum.rotter.se/index.php?topic=75020.msg1045040).

She was married to Zacharias Bihl, though I'm unable to locate that marriage.

Any help would be appreciated.

Some additional clues which might assist others in researching this family:

Of Brita Thingberg / Tingberg's ten children, three of the first six had "Madame Maria/Maja Thingberg" as a witness.

This Maria/Maja Thingberg might be Maria Höök, wife of Erik Thingberg, who was born around 1666, and died on March 9, 1720.

This Maria Höök cannot be Brita Thingberg's mother, since she married Erik about 1695 (Brita was born about 1687). If Erik Thingberg was Brita's brother, however, this would make Maria her sister-in-law.

Additionally, "Madame Maria Thingberg" stopped acting as a witness to Brita's children by 1714, and Maria died in 1720. And Brita's child Maria was born 9 days before the death of Maria Höök, though of course this naming match might just be a coincidence.

Finally, a witness for Brita's son Nicolaus in 1716 was "Madame Sarah Engall Fagrell," who was Maria Höök's daughter from a previous marriage.
