Tiina, any chance you could help me crack open this side of the family?

My problem is probably that I don't know the birth place, I have tried searching in Hisiki various combinations for births and marriages, but comes up with very little. I tried both searching Taavetti and David as I understand it is the same name.
However I did find something interesting looking their names up in the move in/out database:
Taavetti (Juhonp.) Karhunen
Left Suonenjoki on 27.12.1893
Arrived in Sortavalan maaseurakunta - Sordavala landsförsamling 24.3.1894
Hilda (Gustava) Itkonen:
Left Suonenjoki on 30.5.1899
Arrived Sortavalan maaseurakunta - Sordavala landsförsamling 22.6.1899
Left Sortavalan maaseurakunta - Sordavala landsförsamling 2.10.1900
Arrived in Karttula
Can't be a coincidence that two people with the right names that married also moved in and out of the same town around the same time?
Can someone who knows how to look up someone in the parish(es) see if the birth year is the same as what I have for them?
Taavetti: 1886 - 1957
Hilda: 1889 – 1961
That info comes from a grave monument website.
Norm Lindquist helped crack the brick wall on their daughter in law's side, shout out to Norm, I hope this wall can be taken down today ;)
