"Moved at Älvsbacka, October 10, 1886." (Or Elfsbacka.) This is so indicated in the 1886-1890 household survey although the date there is 2 Oct 1886.

At the time of the 1890 census, Britta and Anders Henrik and their son Albin were residing in Sund, in the parish of Elfsbacka, in the county of Värmland.

According to the 91-95 Household Examination, they were living near or with Anders Henrik’s parents in/on Sund Eg in Älvsbacka.

Had 5 children, one of whom lived in New Jersey.

Probably died before 1947 because she is not listed in the death index.
