Looking for More Information on Britha Olsson and Family

[Erik Aasland]

Hello,


I was wondering if someone might be able to help me find more information on a woman and her family. I am looking to find out more about a widowed woman name Britha Olsson. She was born about 1799 and had at least three children. The only information I have comes from Domkyrkoförsamlingen in Göteborg (please see the attached pictures). It shows Britha Olsson (b 1799) and the following children:

1. Bernt Julius (b 1835)
2. Carl Mauritz (b 1837)
3. Maria (b 1822)

If it isn't too difficult, I was wondering if there is a chance that someone might be able to find out where exactly these three children were born and who their father was and when Britha married him.Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

This was really difficult. The only thing I can add is that they probably also are found in Göteborgs Karl Johan (O) AI:3 (1835-1836) Bild 39 / sid 73 (AID: v35079.b39.s73, NAD: SE/GLA/13186). Although some data are different it must be the same persons. But I don't find anything about them in Domkyrkoförsamlingen, and not even Carl Mauritz born 1837, which should be in Karl Johan, as they lived there at that time.

Hei Leif,

Thanks so much for your response, very much appreciated! Yes, it's been very difficult to find out more about this family. I was really hoping to find out the name of the children's father, which I think is Magnus. I'd like to one day be able to find the children's descendants. I think the "Bernt Julius" there is my second great-grandfather, but without additional information I cannot know for sure.

Thank you again for taking the time to look for them!

Hi Leif,


I think I found the Bernhard Julius that you referenced above (please see the image). Is there is a chance that you might be able to read what is written to the left of his name and tell me what it says? All I can make out is that he was born on May 17, 1835 and baptised on May 18, 1835. I might even have these dates wrong as it seems to that baptising a baby the day after he is born is very quick!?


Thank you so much.


Erik
