In later Household Examination records, Hedvig Christina is said to have been born on June 6th, 1795, in Strå parish in Östergötland, but no such birth is recorded there. The oldest record found so far is from Jönköpings Kristina parish, where she lived in nr 3-6 of the Western Quarter from 1816 to 1818;[1] she is said to have arrived from Vadstena. In 1818[2] she married Johan Rydberg and lived with him in Svenska Maden N:o 2,[3] but already the next year they moved to Viken in Gränna[4] where they lived until 1826.[5] They then returned to Jönköping, where they lived at various addresses[6][7][8][9] until 1834 when she passed away from cholera.[10]
