Hi Naomi, Thanks for the answer. It is definitely written "dagakarl" with an "a" in the middle. I thought it might be "dagskarl" but it really, really looks more like an "a" than an "s" in the middle. So, does that make a difference (it isn't "dagkarl")?

Have you seen him at Livgardet till häst? Nils Hilding Svensson, born 1886-11-14 "Ousby", is soldier number 23 of 4th squadron, in Livgardet till häst AII:1 (1898-1920) Image 2210 / page 209 (AID: v87798.b2210.s209, NAD: SE/SSA/0005i). On line 12 he had come from Malmö Caroli 1906-12-18, intended to move to Malmö Caroli 1909 but returned the certificate on line 13, finally moved to Malmö Sankt Johannes 1910-10-15. // Bo Johansson

Gustaf Nilsson Falk is recorded as born in Ljuder. // Bo Johansson

It does look like "sjukv.korp.", so he had probably been a Medic Corporal, presumably at Lifgardet till Häst in Stockholm, where he came from 1910-11-08. He was registered in the Malmö sjömanshus (~seamens registry), and was moved to the missing persons book 1914(?) (as number 245?). It seems it means page 245 (line 22) in the missing persons book, Malmö Sankt Johannes AIII:1 (1909-1929) Image 2220 / page 245 (AID: v265822.b2220.s245, NAD: SE/MSA/00617). Both "Malmö sjömanshus" and his conscription information are crossed out, so he was probably no longer known to the "sjömanshus". Arkivdigital has records for "Sjömanshuset i Malmö"... // Bo Johansson Lois Casson wrote 2014-06-05 05:46: > > Nils is not a snickare.

Nils is not a snickare. The first word in the row is Sjuks...illness. I don't know what the second word is. The 1910 census says jukvårdskorpral . Sjuksvard means tender of the sick/nurse, Korpral - Corporal, a rank. Sjömanshus is General Register and Records Office of Shipping and Seaman. It may say he's registered there.

Hi Mary, I checked the death record with just a last name and death date. I couldn't match any locations so there is no way to know who her husband might have been. There were 24 yrs between their deaths so she likely moved from where she was living in 1954. Malmö Sankt Johannes has a lot of later records, a lot of parish vital records end before 1900.
