Nels and Ole Nelson

[JoLeen Randolph]

Hi, I am looking for the birth parish of Nels P. Nelson and his brother Ole Nelson.  Nels was born 12 Sept 1874. Ole was born about 1868.  According to a passenger list Ole was living in Helsingborg in 1902 with his wife Eva and daughter Emmy.  Thank you.  JoLeen in Minnesota

Perhaps this is your Ola Nelson in Swedish Census 1900:
 
Nilsson, Ola
Maskinarbetare  [machine worker]
b. 1867 in Lövestad (Malmöhus län, Skåne)
Man, married, father
Tillhör Metodistespiskopalförs. [methodist]
 
Nilsson, Eva Karolina
b. 1868 in Pjätteryd (Kronobergs län, Småland)
h.  [wife]
Woman, married, mother
Tillhör Metodistespiskopalförs.
 
Emma Nanny Maria
b. 1900 in Helsingborgs stadsförs (Malmöhus län, Skåne)
d.
Girl, child
 
Qvart. Belgien, Helsingborgs stadsförs (Malmöhus län, Skåne)
 
 
If so, he was born in Lövestad 1867, and he looked like this in 1890:
 
Nilsson, Ola
Dräng  [farmhand]
f. 1867 i Lövestad (Malmöhus län, Skåne)
Ogift man, ensam i familjen [unmarried man, alone]
 
Heinge N.11, Lövestad (Malmöhus län, Skåne)
 
 
In Lövestad HFL AI:17 1886-1894 page 398 (GID 1306.6.45800) at Heinge No. 11 he is with mother and sister:
 
- widow Bengta Pers., born 1835-01-05 Lövestad.
- son Ola Nilsson, born 1867-05-11 Lövestad.
- daughter Bengta, born 1871-11-11 Lövestad, moves 188 to page 343.
 
Also the head of the household Anders Nilsson, born 1857-08-15.
 
 
In the previous HFL AI:15 1881-1886 page 364 (GID 1306.40.66100) they look like this:
 
- widow Bengta Persdotter, born 1835-01-05 Lövestad.
- son Anders Nilsson, born 1857-08-15 Lövestad.
- son Nils Nilsson, born 1859-12-22 Lövestad, moves 1885 to page 318.
- son Per Nilsson, born 1862-07-09 Lövestad, moves 1886 to Felinge(??).
- son Ola Nilsson, born 1867-05-11 Lövestad.
- daughter Bengta, born 1871-11-04 Lövestad.
 
 
In the previous HFL AI:14 1875-1881 page 406 (GID 1306.39.3400) they look like this:
 
- Nils Andersson, born 1824-07(?)-06 Lövestad, dies 1880-12-24(?).
- wife Bengta Persdotter, born 1835-01-05 Lövestad.
- son Anders Nilsson, born 1857-08-15 Lövestad.
- son Nils Nilsson, born 1859-12-22 Lövestad.
- son Per Nilsson, born 1862-07-09 Lövestad.
- son Ola Nilsson, born 1867-05-11 Lövestad.
- daughter Bengta, born 1871-11-04 Lövestad.
 
They look the same in the previous HFL AI:13 1869-1875 page 320 (GID 1306.37.20300), so this Ola Nilsson have brothers named Nils born 1859 and Per born 1862, but not Nils P born 1874.

Left side of roll

 
Right side of roll

 
Rather messy, but you can see that the birthdate for Nils is correct and that he left Sweden 27 may 1892.
But he came back 6 november 1895?? Can it be correct?
 
Have a nice day
