In many birth records you find "Faddrar" or "Vittnen", i.e. Godfathers/mothers or Christening witnesses, who also had the obligation to take care of the child if the parents should die or something. These are often neighbours or relatives and can give valuable information if the normal methods fail. In this case the last Godmother (is this the right term?) is Jungfru (maid) Lovisa Fredrika Bergendahl. This is not Fredrika Lovisa Teresia Wallström, and I am quite sure that you will find that it is Bergendahl's sister! Also note that probably Fredrika Lovisa Teresia Bergendahl never existed, wifes didn't take their husbands name at that time, as you see in Göteborgs Domkyrkoförsamling AIa:12 (1873-1883) Bild 105 / sid 201 (AID: v35188.b105.s201, NAD: SE/GLA/13180).
