Finding Marriage Record from Census

[Greg Rosenvall]

Is there a good way to find the marriage record of Sven Gösta Wästlund and Rut Wästlund from the 1940 census record (link below), given a marriage date is not given?

Thank you,
Greg

Thank you, Bengt-Göran!  For my education, how did you find this record?

The "census" of 1940 was conducted by the parishes making extracts from the church records (no-one went house to house and asked questions ...).

The extract you link to is from Karlstad domkyrkoförsamling,  and in the left column is the page number -- 7426. The only complication is that AD hasn't filmed it -- so you have to go to Riksarkivet to find the original: Karlstads domkyrkoförsamlings kyrkoarkiv, Församlingsböcker, SE/VA/13273/A II a/19 (1934-1949), bildid: 00034487_00237, sida 7426

Married 1939-07-15, and from that you can look up their marriage in the banns and marriage book: Karlstad domkyrkoförsamling (S) EI:1 (1935-1945) Bild 182 / Sida 174 (AID: v173758.b182.s174, NAD: SE/VA/13273), #157/1939
