Could Ingrid be the mother?
I am attaching a household examination record that shows my 2nd great grandfather Carl Gustaf Peterson LH5D-4YV as an illegitimate child who is shown on this record with his widowed grandmother Maria G2XF-J83 and Maria's daughter Ingrid G2XT-PYY who has moved to another area.
Is there anything that would suggest that Ingrid either is or is not Carl Gustaf's mother? It seems that the fact that she leaves home soon after the child's birth and that the child stays with the grandmother might suggest that Ingrid is the mother.
A researcher more experienced than I in Swedish research thought she was probably an aunt, but I have found the family in two other records with only one daughter.
Any thoughts?
Is there something in this record that lets me know that Ingrid is not the mother?

Hello Maxine, as I said before: from this record it looks very much that Ingrid is the mother of Carl Gustaf. The most conclusive answer would be given by the birth record of Carl Gustaf. However, I couldn't find it in Hälleberga (https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0024703_00035) for the date given in the household examination (3 June 1821).

Thank you so much! I guess I didn't pick that up from the what you shared with me, but it helps a lot to know that is a good possibility.
