FatherJöns PEHRSSON (ca1743-)
MotherKersta TOMESDOTTER (~1745-)
Misc. Notes
The family farm at Lörby 20, in Mjällby, was named Hamragården. The farm’s name supposedly is derived from an unofficial alias of Pehr’s father: “Hamra-Jössen.”

From 1815-1819 (page 50, Ancestry image 58) Pehr appears to have been single. Also with him at No.20 was Tomas JÖNSSON, b. 08-MAR-1790, probably Pehr’s brother. “Thomas, age 13” appears in the 1803-14 household examination. [8015]

Pehr, Kersta and children lived at homestead No.20 in Lörby. [2904]

The age difference between Pehr & Kersta suggests he might have been married previously. However, no evidence yet found of a prior marriage.
Spouses
Misc. Notes
The household examination covering 1820-1825, indicates that Kersta moved to Lörby 20 (page 56), in 1822, from page 186 (Ancestry image 197), which corresponds to Mörby No.69. [8014] That entry says she moved there in 1820, from page 213.
She was probably a type of farm servant at Mörby No.69.
Page 213 (image 226) is Mörby No.80 and appears to be the home of her father. Her mother is not listed at that farm.
