Oskar Wiklund and Alma Kristina Andersson Marriage Record

[Greg Rosenvall]

I am trying to find the marriage record of Oskar Wiklund and Alma Kristina Andersson.  They are shown on the congregational records per the links below as married on 1907-07-15.  I have been unable to find the marriage record in neither the Brännkyrka nor Folkärna parish records.

Thank you,
Greg

They married in Kungsholm (A, AB) EII:7 (1907-1911) Bild 250 / sid 22 (AID: v87657.b250.s22, NAD: SE/SSA/0011).

Thank you very much, Leif!

For my education and future reference, please advise how you determined they were married in Kungsholm?

Hello Greg!


Of course I can't tell you what method Leif used, but if I had wanted to quickly locate their marriage record, I would have taken a look at the birthplace of the oldest child, which in this case is Kungsholm, and then checked the marriage records for that parish, since there is a decent chance that they also lived there when they got married.
If you hadn't found the marriage record there, you could still use the oldest childs birth record to find the place they lived at at the time and then keep tracking them backwards until they appear as a couple for the first time. This way you can find records quickly without having to trace a family through every single husförhörslängd they appear in and every single move they undertake. This method should of course be used mainly when you want to locate a specific record quickly or when there is a gap in the husförhörslängd - it is good practice to locate an ancestor in every available husförhörslängd, as some interesting notes may only have been entered once.
