Peter was born in Skredsvik parish 16 April 1852 to Johannes Andersson in Berga Rytterhagen and his wife Olena Olsdotter.[1][2]
His brother Olof, who remained a farmer, went by the patronymic Johansson.[3] So although Peter never is in the books with his patronymic, we felt obliged to use that as his Last Name at Birth. Peter adopted the surname Törnqvist at an early age - probably in 1868 when he went to secondary school.[4] This is not a name ever used by his father.
Peter Törnqvist became Comminister in Fjärås. He married Hedvig Sofia Heüman 27 May 1891.[5] peter Törnqvist was transferred to Uddevalla as vicar there in 1902.[6][7]
Peter Törnqvist died 9 June 1922.[8]
