Oscar was born in 1870. Oscar Ahnberg ... He passed away about 1949.[1]
It's most likely that this is the family in census 1880, but head of family is Otto Fredrik - not Otto Theodore. The son Oskar Teodor is not born in Västervik, he is born i Lofta but his older siblings is born in Westrum, it might be a misreading.
