Family of Elna Hansdotter (MRWD-F9Y)
I am looking for marriage, death, or any sort of information about Elna Hansdotter (MRWD-F9Y). She was born 24 June 1828 in Kyrkheddinge, Malmöhus, Sweden to Hans Mårtensson and Kjerstina Pehrsdotter. She is listed in the husförhör for 1824-1829, but unfortunately there is not a husförhör available for Kyrkheddinge for 1829-1835. She is not listed with her family in the husförhör for 1835-1839. I have tried looking for death records in Sweden as well as later husförhören, to no avail. Any suggestions?

If she does not show up in any of the household records, you are right to look through the death records. Did you use an index to the death records or browse image by image? I found her death in 1831 on 11 August by browsing the Kyrkheddinge death records image by image starting from her birth year in 1828. Here is the link to the image on the National Archives website, though I initially found her using ArkivDigital: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0066610_00110
I will also attach a snip of her entry specifically.
If I had not found her in 1831, I probably would have gone until 1835/1836 before pausing to think of any other places to look. However, if I had not found her I might have tried to find a probate for her father that would tell us if she was alive at the time of his death. If she had lived to adulthood but somehow escaped us on the household records the probate record might have told us where she was living and if she was married.

Thank you for looking there! That was an obvious one I should have looked for. I'll find the record on Ancestry. Thank you again!
