Continuing with this Olof Tholsson family, I have found a possibility for the son Nils in Norra By, Eda AI:9 (1796-1802) Image 226 / page 443 with the family of Anders Pärsson, but it doesn't give his year of birth or a moving in date. What is the word in front of Nils? And he wasn't with this family on the next HFL. There is a Västby in the index for Eda parish, but I didn't find Marit Olofsdotter there. At what age would the description change from Gosse to Dr? Is Thol the same name as Tol, Tohl, and Toll? Thank you.
