Help translating notes on marriage

[Bradley Bystrom]

I need help in translating notes regarding the marriage of a Elias Olsson and Kerstin Jacobsdotter July 21, 1836 on Bokenäs C3 Bild 82. At the birth of their first child (Oleana Eliasdotter) in 1830 they were not married but made a promise to (Bokenäs AI:8 Page 308). Did it take six years?

Lysning hade skett i Oktober 1830 = Banns in October 1830. You find it on page 141, and yes, it took 6 years, unusual.

I guess my great-great-great grandparents didn’t want to rush into anything.


Many thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
