Stockholm barnhus barnet

[Carolyn Eccles]

Charlotta Christina Eugenia Westerdahl came into Villstad socken in 1842. The clercial survey for  1840-45 and 1845-50 say she is a barhus barnet in from Stockholm in 1842. I know she was born 15 Nov 1837 to master shoemaker Sven Eric Westerdahl and his wife Lovisa Ulrica Lindahl and baptised in Jacob and Johannes. I have not been able to locate them in that parish in Stockholm in the clercial survey. They also had a son Carl Johan Alexius in 1836 in Jacob and Johannes. The street address in that record is #17 Jericho. Can someone tell me if that address is in Jacob and Johannes? Also what would be the best way to locate Charlotta in the barnhus she was in in Stockholm. I am assuming the parents died as I find the son Carl in the 1890 census in Stockholm with a family named Bagge. He is a goldsmtih.

The children from barnhus ie the Stockholm General Orphanage (Allmänna barnhuset) can be researched at the Stockholm City Archives, www.ssa.stockholm.se. The English version does not list the orphanage, but in the Swedish one it is register till allmänna barnhuset. Unfortunately, the actual record, which would give more detail, is missing in the scanned records in the case of Charlotta Christina. The record number is:
1841 (year of entry)  Westerdahl Charlotta Christina Eugenia D 2 H 41  184 09896  
You can mail the archives (stadsarkivet@ssa.stockholm.se) and ask them for a copy of the record for this child. That should give more information.

[Maud Svensson]

Lovisa Ulrica Westerdahl b. Lindahl died Sep 22, 1849 in Johannes parish. Cause of death: childbirth. Buried Aug 27. She left 1 son and 1 daughter (as I have not found Franz Hartwig Albin anywhere after 1843 I suppose he died very young).
