This appears to indicate that Hilda Josefina was married to a Bosett in Chicago in 1943. But I am unsure if it says more than that, and I am confused because this is a congregation record 1901- 1905. Did they sometimes go back and make entries 40 years later? Source reference Väddö (AB) AIIa:3 (1901-1905) Image 430 / Page 34

Close; the record states that she moved to North America on 22 Feb 1903 and then was declared in 1943 to be married and was residing [i.e., bosatt] in Chicago.
I'm not completely sure of the word right before the year 1943, but I think it means "declared"; if so, 1943 may or may not be the year she was married--that is, it could be the year she was married or it could just be the year they received the information. I suggest looking for a 1943 marriage record for her in Chicago, but if you can't find one in that year, try looking between 1903 and 1943.
They did sometimes return to old records (in this case, the last congregation record she was listed in) to record additional information, even years later. Sometimes you'll see death dates on birth records, where the scribe went back 60, 70, 80 years later to add that information in; we always appreciate those scribes a great deal!
