Banns number: 3 Banns date: 11 July 1875 Groom: Anders Anderson, worker from Direkullen(?) of Högstena parish, born 1854, 1st marriage. Bride Johanna Andersdotter, maid from Hagen(?) under Breckholmen(?), born 1847, 1st marriage, page 84 in HFL. Remark: both parties were present and stated their request for banns. Morning gift according to law. Marriage date: 15 Oct 1875. You get page number only for people from this parish, and it was common to marry in the bride's home parish. // Bo Johansson
Thank you, Bo. I found her on page 84, but she was alone. I think she is my ancestor's sister. I also found the couple and a daughter in the HFL in Direkullen of Högstena parish and her birth date and place matched the person I was looking for.
