Sven PERSSON

1784 - 1853  (68 years)

• Name	Sven PERSSON
  Birth	31 Dec 1784	Sweden
  Gender	Male
  Death	5 Mar 1853	Svedala, Sweden
  Notes	According to Carl Johan, Sven never used the name Lundberg. Became a tenant farmer. Further research from Carl-Johan: Sven’s main occupations were as a policeman (lower policeman, e.g., bailiff) and tenant farmer. His first marriage (unknown year) was to a Bengta Larsdotter, b. ca 1781, who died before 1817. They had children: Pär, b. 22 Nov 1805 in Lyngby (declared dead); Peter, b. 8 Oct 1807 in Lyngby; Elna, b. 29 Sep 1809 in Lyngby; and Anders, b. 26 Feb 1812 in Hyby. The second marriage was 17 Dec 1817 in Svedala to a Kjersti Jönsdotter, b. 12 Feb 1797 in Svedala, d. 12 May 1846. Their children were Bengta, born 15 Aug 1821; Jons, b. 6 Sep 1826, d. Sep; Per, b. 25 Apr 1829; Margaretha, b. 16 Jun 1832, d. 15 Apr 1843; Jons, b. 26 Oct 1835; Carl Petter, b. 10 Mar 1839, d. 19 Jan 1844. Sven died 5 Mar 1853 in Svedala at the age of 68. Sven Pettersson seems to have lived as a typical "torparliv" in 1800s Sweden. He had four sons who, after his own father, are named Pe(tte)r. Nothing spectacular, however, his second son Peter (born in 1807) is listed in the birth book with the Christian name "Petter Ullric Willhelm.” The practice of giving three first names, I recall, only occurred in the upper classes at the time. Sven was crofter but his father was sheriff. Thus, it may be safe to assume that his grandfather's full name was Peter Ulrik Wilhelm Svensson Lundberg. His birth notice remains to be found to confirm this!
