Hello can anyone please tell me what does Silkeswinderska mean in English.
in the Register till mantalsuppgifter 1800 - 1880 while searching for Sven Landroth I came across three names one was A B Landroth who is Anna Birgitta Landroth, Sven's wife. The other two women Maria and Magdal who are they and are they related?
regards

[Peter Heiberg]

Hello Maggie,
a Silkesvinderska was responsible for preparing the silk to be woven in the silk mill. The silk strings was unwinded (vinda in swedish) from a stand (bobbin) by the worker and put onto the loom.
 
There are many pages on the web explaining this better than I can. One of them is: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/TEXsilk.htm
 
Best regards,
Peter

[Ingela Martenius]

Maggie and Peter,
 
According to SAOB, the dictionary of the Swedish Academy (that sets the standard for Swedish), it's rather the other way round:
A silkesvinderska - silk winder (in the female) - winds the silk from a skein to a bobbin.
The silk is winded up on the bobbin to make it easier to warp.
(This has also already been discussed here, though in Swedish.)
 
One of the foremost silk factories in Stockholm, which means Sweden, was K A Almgrens Sidenväveri (in southern Stockholm, Söder or Södermalm, e.g. Maria parish). It started in 1833 and is, after a 17 year hiatus 1974-1991, still there; a combination of a museum and an actual working loom.

Thank you Ingela for clearing that up, I misinterpreted the swedish article. Read a bit too fast I guess.

Hi Ingela and Peter
Thank you both for explaining to me, I will look up both sites. Sven Landroth was a silk manufacturer and he is my 2nd great grandfather.

hi there
Can anyone be able to do a lookup for Sven Landroth or Lanroth born 27 Dec 1795 somewhere in sweden and who his parents were, I am not sure if his mother was Stina Landroth. Is Anna Margareta (Greta) Nyberg born 1786 15/10 and Buried 25/11 1871 på Norra begravningsplatsen was his sister. Her husband was E. Nyberg.

Thank Judy  
I already had that information, he was a factory owner would there be any information? He shows up in the census up to 1863 maria norra while his wife up to 1876 he died 4 march 1863 if that is correct and she died 12 Nov 1886. I have not been able to find any other information on them who is parents are or what siblings he had.
Maggie

Hi Maggie,
 
That information which you already had gives a starting point to work backwards in the records to try to find the man. I don't have time to do it but perhaps someone will take on the challenge.

I believe that Sven Landroth was born 28 Dec 1795 in Flemingsbergs Nybygge in Huddinge parish, Stockholm county.  
 
Sven's parents were Jacob Ersson (Eriksson) b. 11 May 1747 and his wife Anna Stina Svensdotter b. 22 June 1764 in Huddinge. In 1799 the family moved to Lilla Orlångsjö, also in Huddinge, and in 1806 to Katarina parish, Stockholm city.  
 
In January 1820 Anna Stina Landroth née Svensdotter moved from Katarina to Hedvig Eleonora parish, also in Stockholm city. There is a note that she was a widow since 30 Aug 1809, but I have not found her husband in Katarina death records. Anna Stina Landroth died 13 June 1826 in Hedvig Eleonora.
 
Among Sven's siblings was a sister born 22 June 1793 in Huddinge - in Stockholm she is registered as Maja Lena/Magdalena Jacobsdotter Landroth.

Hi Bo
 
Thank you very much for your information, are you able to tell me the names of the six children and also the married son? Was Sven Landroth the proper name or was he Sven Ersson? and he is the last child born 1795, one sister which Maud mention above Maja Lena/Magdalena Jacobsdotter Landroth born 1793, how does the Landroth name come about? (I must apologize for asking so many questions  Ok so Anna Greta whatever her maiden name was and married to E Nyberg is not a sister of Sven Landroth, how is it that she is buried in the same grave? Everybody mention below except Anna Greta Nyberg are my relations

Hi Maud  
Just got your message right then thank you very much

”Gravsatt” means buried. Sven Landroth died 25 Feb 1863 in Maria parish.
Maria FI:8
 
His name, before Landroth, would have been the patronymic Jacobsson.
 
Jacob Ersson was probably married at least twice - since Sven's mother was born 1764 she could not be the mother of the son born 1776.
 
It was very common to adopt a family name when living in a city. Before 1901 it was easily done - you just told the parish minister what you wanted to be called.

[Maud Svensson]

Jacob Ersson's children with his first wife Brita Johansdotter/Jansdotter Lundgren who died, 38 years old, 18 July 1787 in Nybygge, Huddinge:
Johan b. 7 Nov 1776
Jacob b. 20 Feb 1779
Eric b. 27 May 1781
Pehr b. 20 Apr 1784
 
Widower Jacob Ersson and Anna Stina Svensdotter married 19 Oct 1788 in Huddinge.
Their children:
Sven b. 16 Dec 1791, dead the same day
Maja Lena b. 22 June 1793
Sven b. 28 Dec 1795
Anders b. 14 May 1800

Hi Maud
Wonderful thank you very much for all your help  
Working on the Sjöberg side, Elisabeth who was adopted by Sven Landroth and Anna Bjurling. Are Henric Larsson Sjöberg and Maria Christina Blomberg the parents of Mathilda Theresia (mother of Elisabeth) born 10 Aug 1823, Anna Catharina 22 Dec 1829 and Eric Johan born 13 May 1832?
Who did Anna Catharina married and what children did she have, and confirming if Eric Johan married Johanna Charlotta Maria Nordenberg I have not found any children for him.  
Best regards Maggie

[Maggie Landroth]

Hi there
What year did Sven Landroth/Jacobsson and his mother Anna Stina Svensdotter change their name to Landroth, did his father Jacob Ersson also changed his name? where did they get the Landroth name from?
Does anyone know who his siblings marry?
Johan b. 7 Nov 1776  
Jacob b. 20 Feb 1779  
Eric b. 27 May 1781  
Pehr b. 20 Apr 1784
