Källgren, Gustaf Johansson

[Karen Norwillo]

I am looking for the date of death for Gustaf Johansson Källgren, born 1837 in Hansarp, Södra Åsarp, Älvsborgslän. He was the first husband of my great-uncle's wife, Johanna Sofia (Annell). I know he worked on the railroad. Johanna came to the US abt 1887. They lived mostly in Gryt.

Karen!
 
When I searched the census 1890 (on CD) I found this record/household:
 
Johansson Källgren, Gustaf 1837 Far
Amnell, Johanna Sofia         1841 Mor
 
Gustaf data:
Johansson Källgren, Gustaf
Arbetskarl
Worker
 
f. 1837 i Norra Åsarp (Älvsborgs län, Västergötland)
 
Gift man, far i familjen
Married man, father in family
 
Huggjernet N:o 1
Maria Magdalena rote 16 (Stockholms stad, Uppland)
- where they lived 1890.
 
Amnell, Johanna Sofia
f. 1841 i Ludgo (Södermanlands län, Södermanland)
Frånvarande vid inskrivningen
Not present at registration
 
So Johanna evidently (as you said) had already left for Amerika.
 
I do not know how to find death record in Stockholm area - someone else may help!
 
Also interesting to see that the birth place is in Norra Åsarp parish.
 
Guess you know the ancestors of these persons?
If not, I can look further.
 
Regards

Laborer Gustaf Johansson Källgren, born 27 Dec 1837 in Åsarp, died 15 July 1893 in Kungsholm parish, Stockholm city.

According to this source, he and his wife Johanna Sofia Källgren (born Amnell 21 Oct 1841 in Ludgo, Södermanland county) moved from Maria Magdalena parish to Kungsholm parish in 1892. There they lived at Hornsbergs Sockerbruk (Hornsberg Sugar Mill). His widow left in 1893 or 1894, destination unknown.

Thank you both for your quick and excellent replies. This helps to complete facts already known. It would appear that Johanna emigrated to Ishpeming, MI where her daughter and son-in-law lived. The only difference is her date of emigration. It is possible she went for a visit in 1887, returned and then went back after Gustaf's death. She married my great great-uncle there.
