Thanks Judy, I've not see that before. It might be that he went to Copenhagen at some point. I have followed his mother through the census and congregation records, and in Farstorp AII:1 (1896-1910) Image 550 / Page 43 (AID: v98269a.b550.s43) his name appears in a comment on line 18, to do with a foster-daughter Ellen Ohlsson. It appears she was born in Copenhagen but baptised in Hästveda on 2 Jun 1902. Sadly that parish's scanned birth and christening records end before 1902, so I can't double-check the names of the parents. But Nils Olsson and his wife Karin Karlsson might be they.
