Thankyou Eva. We have also followed the story of Antonia and have made a discovery that she was not a maid for the Royal Family but was actually shown in the 1858-1861 census for Hedvig-Eleonora as employed as a maid for a wealthy merchant P.Petterson who owned the house she was residing in. Tennants at the time were a steamboat skipper Carl Johan Wilhelm Bergstrom born 1823 and his wife Carolina born 1826 as well as their daughter born 1861. I apologise for not updating the research. The Petterson family seems to tie in with the Lundberg family according to our DNA matches. 5 years later , in 1863 Antonia returned to Kalmar (near where her parents lived) and had her son Josef Wilhelm Malcus Aberg (my 2nd great grandfather). Later that year, census records show a different residence:15 November 1863 • Orbyhus, Uppsala, Sweden
The census in November shows Antonia at Orbyhus Vardshus, as a maid at the home of Johan Fredrik Andersson (1806-1876)(a head waiter). I think VARDSHUS= a public house or tavern.Her father was a brewer & there were relatives in Uppsala. Her son was with a foster family until he turned one then he was cared for by Antonia's parents and she returned to work in Stockholm. It seems that when someone was pregnant out of wedlock they moved to a different location to avoid scandal.Similar things happened here in Australia when young women would take a 'holiday' and visit relatives in another part of the country.
As you can see, I have also followed Antonia through life and looked at the records you mention, plus a few more. I have also created profiles for her brothers and sisters - it's an interesting family, with one brother moving to Finland and two sisters living in France, at least periodically. Since one husband was a furrier and the other a shoemaker, I guess they were in the fashion business. Wonder how much the wives were involved at this time.
I was alerted to Antonia because of the old double G2G posting about Antonia's DNA - which was none of your doing. Both posts were inapproriately linked to the profile of king Oscar II. At first I couldn't even understand why, but looking at her profile and the profile of her son I could see where the idea came from.
A couple of comments: Antonia was born in Borgholm on Öland, which is indeed close to the royal summer residence, Solliden. Solliden was built in 1907. The old Borgholm castle had never been completed and had been declining since the time of the Vasa kings - some of the buildings were used for storage and industry, which led to their destruction in a fire in 1807. After that the castle went through "a hundred years of neglect"; nowadays it has been cleaned up for tourist purposes.
Also, in Sweden in the 1860s most births were home births - with a midwife called in as needed. For women in Antonia's situation some midwives would take in expecting mothers for their last few weeks. This seems to be the case with Antonia's second child, born on Söder in Stockholm. Stockholm at this time, was one of the few places in Sweden where there was a dedicated maternity hospital, a charity, but Antonia does not seem to have elected to use the service.
Hi Sue,
I have followed Antonia Åberg from birth to death in the Swedish sources, to the best of my ability - Stockholm is difficult, so there are still some gaps and not all cited records are available for free. Since there is no indication in the sources that she ever worked for the royal family, I have put the whole thing into a space page. Also, I routinely use inline references, so it can be a bit hard to follow in edit mode. I think this pays off by making the display mode neat.

UPDATE (2020): Further research indicated Antonia was living at a house in Stockholm owned by a wealthy merchant 'P.Petterson'. After analysing DNA matches and trees we feel this may connect to the family of Petter Lundberg and Anna Elisabet Frykman...Apparently Petter/Peter Lundberg was a merchant who travelled and his son Petter Ferdinand Petterson (Lundberg) was also a merchant.
The old family stories of a connection to royalty may have stemmed from very early ancestors such as my 8th great grandfather, Nils Andersson Aberg . Nils Andersson Åberg (1668 - 5/10 1746) was a bailiff and commander at Stävlö manor between Åby and Kalmar. His wife (Christina) Stina Maria Marin was from a prominent family; her father Peter Marin (24/3 /1671 - 4/12 /1739) was a crown commander from Uranäs in Älghult parish, deep in the forests of Småland, and her mother's family can be traced to the medieval nobility. Many of the other family members seemed to be farmers around Gelebo, Aby, Kalmar.References: http://bolindkvist.se/getperson.php?personID=I37100&tree=tree1; https://familjenalfort.se/inga-karlssons-mors-familj/6904
