Carl Gustaf Andersson

also spelled Karl Gustaf Andersson

Birth: 18 August 1858, at Bomarsvik, Turinge, Stockholms län, Sweden

Baptism: 22 August 1858, in Turinge, Stockholms län, Sweden

Father: Anders Gustaf Andersson

Mother: Christina Lovisa Jansdotter

Married: Augusta Sofia Johansdotter on 21 February 1880, in Kattnäs, Södermanland, Sweden
Banns were read on 18 January, 25 January and 1 February. Carl Gustaf Andersson is recorded as born on 18 August 1858. He is a dräng resident at Qvarntorp. Augusta Sophia Petersson is recorded as born on 15 November 1857, the daughter of Jan Peter Petersson, a forester (skogvaktare) from Sjövreten. She is resident at Sjövreten.

Augusta was born on 15 November 1857 at Sjövreten, Kattnäs, Södermanland, and baptised in Kattnäs on 20 November, the daughter of Johan Petter Persson and Anna Jansdotter. Johan is listed as the owner ([hemmans]egare) of Sjövreten and later also as a forester (skogvaktare) there. Augusta married Carl Gustaf Andersson on 21 February 1880, and Carl moved to Sjövreten in April 1880, which was also when their first child, Carl August was born. Augusta's surname is written as Peterson in the mariage record but all the Husförhörslängd after their marriage show her surname as Johansdotter. The young family moved to Alby in Vårdinge parish in 1881 where Carl was a dräng then in 1882 they moved to nearby Höghult under Alby, where Carl was was a torpare. Carl and Augusta lived at Höghult  for the rest of their lives, raising their seven children there. Karl died on 30 August 1924 and Augusta died at Höghult on 31 May 1928.

Children: Notes: Carl was born on 18 August 1858, at Bomarsvik, Turinge, Stockholms län where his father worked first as a farmhand (statdräng). He is noted as a twin both in the födelsebok and in a number of the early Husförhörslängd entries, but I have found no record of that other twin (perhaps a stillborn twin?). Later in 1858 the family moved to Ogåndan, in Överjärna parish, then moved back to Bomarsvik in 1859, to Mora in Överjärna parish in 1860 and to Aspdalen in Ytterjärna parish, Stockholms län, in 1861. In 1863 Carl's father became a torpare at Fiskartorp in Vårdinge parish, Stockholms län, where the family lived for the next ten years. In 1873 Carl and family moved to Ängen, also in Vårdinge parish and in 1876 they moved to Peterslund where they stayed until 1879. In 1879 Anders, Kristina and their two youngest children moved to Frustuna parish back in Södermanland, but Carl moved instead to Qvarntorp in Kattnäs parish in Södermanland, where he worked as a farmhand. Carl married Augusta Sofia Petersson on 21 February 1880. Augusta was the daughter of a forester who owned property at Sjövreten in Kattnäs parish, and Carl moved there in April 1880, which was also when their first child, Carl August was born. The young family moved to Alby back in Vårdinge parish in 1881 where Carl was a dräng then in 1882 they moved to nearby Höghult under Alby, where Carl was was a torpare. Interestingly, Höghult is right next to Fiskartorp where Carl had spent ten years of his childhood. Carl and Augusta lived at Höghult  for the rest of their lives, raising their seven children there. Around 1885 we see the spelling of his name change to Karl. According to his son Axel, Karl slaughtered for the farmers in the area. Some time between 1917 and 1921 Karl's designation changed from torpare to arrendator at Höghult, indicating a change in the terms of his lease on the farm from a contract where he had to work a set number of days on the main farm to paying the farm rent in cash. Karl died on 30 August 1924 in Södertälje hospital. He was buried on 4 September 1924.

Death: 30 August 1924, in Södertälje hospital (laserett), Södertälje, Stockholms län, Sweden
The cause of death is listed as prostate cancer (ca[ncer] prostata) leading to bladder hemorrhage (hæmorrhagia vessica).

Burial: 4 September 1924
