Can anyone tell me who his parents are and if he has any living relatives in Sweden other than the Kempes?
Anton Julius Winblad I (1828-1901) Schoolteacher (Folkskolelärare), Church Choir Leader and Church Organist at Ytterlännäs, Sweden from 1851 to 1866 (b. August 10, 1828, Stockholm, Stockholm lan, Sweden - d. October 30, 1901, Prästbordet, Anundsjö församling, Västernorrland lan, Sweden) Anton was born in 1828 in Stockholm, Sweden and by 1851 he was teaching and leading the church choir in Ytterlännäs, Sweden. He married Margareta (Greta) Kristina Höglund (1819-1854) on June 24, 1852 in Högsjö and in 1853 Antonette Kristina Winblad and Johanna Maria Winblad, their twin daughters were born. On June 11, 1854 their third child, Antonette Kristina Winblad II was born and Margareta, his wife, died in childbirth. After his wife's death Anton travelled to Härnösand to take the exam to be certified as an organist. When he returned, he began a courtship of Elsa Maria Elisabeth Näslund (1829-1907). Elsa's father was Israel Israelsson Näslund III (1796-1858) the Reverend of Ytterlännäs. Anton and Elsa married on August 07, 1855 in Ytterlännäs and they had the following children: Karl Israel Winblad (1857-1858) who died as an infant; Johan Edvard Winblad (1856-1914) aka John Edward Winblad who ran away from home rather than become a priest and married Salmine Sophia Severine Pedersen (1862-1914) aka Salmina Olsdatter, in Norway and emigrated to the United States; Johanna Winblad (1859-1916) who married Per Olof Bernhard Vahlberg (1852-aft1890); Carl Gustaf Winblad (1861-1863) who died as an infant; Anton Teodor Winblad (1862-?) who became a Lieutenant in the military; Maria Elisabeth Winblad II (1865-1937) who married the storekeeper Jonas Kempe (1861-1918) and had children and grandchildren; and Frideborg Winblad (1869-c1950) who was born in Anundsjö and never married, and became a teacher herself in Ytterlännäs. David Kettlewell writes the following in his history of music at the church: From the year 1851 on, the leaders of the church choir are documented. In that year came the first teacher in the parish, Anton Julius Winblad, born [in] 1828 in Stockholm. Three years later [in 1854,] one can read in a parish protocol his asking to end the school year for the season, to be able to go to Härnösand and learn to play the organ and to take the organ exam. On January 24, 1866 Anton moved the family to Prästbordet, Anundsjö, Västernorrland, Sweden and it appears that Johan, his first born son didn't move with the family. Anton appears in the 1890 Sweden Census working as a school teacher and living in Anundsjö with his wife and two unmarried children: Antonette Kristina Winblad from his first marriage; and Friedeborg Winblad. Anton died in 1901 in Sweden and is buried in Sweden, probaby in Ytterlännäs or Prästbordet.
