Note that birth, death & marriage records for Sölvesborg are not available prior to 1752.

If Juliana Ekelin was married in Växjö stadsförsamling (see Research Notes for Jöns LÅNG), then perhaps she was not born in Sölvesborg, but somewhere in Kronoberg.
The county of Kronoberg borders both Skåne and Blekinge.

Research
In the 1768 Sölvesborg household examination, the LÅNG family was living at No.41. Unfortunately the examiner did not record the first names of the Head and his wife, but did list a son, “Fulmo”, who also appears in the 1780 examination at No.41, along with his brother, Nils. [3928], [3930]

Kronoberg Växjö stadsförsamling Vigsel (Marriages) 1726 - 1766 (C:1) Ancestry image#220 page 421
lists a marriage on 26 Mar 1735, for Jöns LANG and Juliana Ekelin, in Växjö. Credit to Dan Persson for finding this record.

perhaps there were other children born between 1735 & 1745 if this is really the same couple. Didn’t find any children 1735-1737 in Växjö stadsförsamling, but found one possible match dated 12-MAY-1738 (Ancestry image#67); it appears to be for a son, Erich, to Jöns LÅNG. It appears that the mother’s name is not provided, but amongst the witnesses there are two persons with the surname EKLIN: Nils and Anna Maria. Also a person named Maria LÅNG. No children found in 1739-1741. So if they did move to Sölvesborg, it was probably after 1738, but at least by 1745.

Household examination records for Växjö stadsförsamling are missing from 1729-1783.
Moving out records don’t begin until 1824. But births are available starting 1724.
