Help with Birth Record - Trying to find mother

G Haux

Ester Maria was born 11 March 1898 in in Malma, Västmanland. Her mother is as Hilda Maria Johansson of Botkyrka. Hilda's birth date is listed as 3 February 1877. I don't see a Hilda Maria born in 1877 on that date but I do see one born on that date in 1876.

I have been following the Hilda Maria born in 1876 and I can't seem to make a connection to the Hilda Maria listed on the birth record. I thought maybe I have missed something. There two different copies of the birth record but I only have this one right now.

I also have the household record at the time Ester Maria was born with her mother's name listed but no other information given. Ester is never actually shown with her mother and later becomes a foster daughter.

Hilda Maria was apparently born 3 February 1876 in Botkyrka församling. Here is the birth record: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00019982_00034#?c=&m=&s=&cv=33&xywh=78%2C-78%2C3173%2C2376 (bottom line).

The church birth record for Ester Maria is here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00182003_00031#?c=&m=&s=&cv=30&xywh=3596%2C379%2C1605%2C1028. It states for the mother: Pigan Hilda Maria Johansson i Johannisberg i Botkyrka församl. i Stockholms län.

And in the last column (notes): Attest avsänd till Past. ämb. i Botkyrka den 26/3. Attesten återsänd hit till Malma. Ankom den 27 Nov 1898, enär modern ej numera var skrivfen i Botkyrka. Födelsen här räknad till församlingen. Moderns kyrkoskrivfningsort okänd. nedkomstort: Malma.

Translation: Certificate sent to pastor's office in Botkyrka on 26/3. The certificate returned here to Malma. Arrived on Nov 27, 1898, as the mother was no longer registered in Botkyrka. Birth here counted to the parish. Mother's place of church registration unknown. Place of birth: Malma.

So it seems that Ester Maria's mother was born and originally registered in a different parish (Botkyrka). Her birth year was erroneously entered as 1877 at the birth of Ester Maria as the the pastor could not check the original church book.

@Ulrich Neitzel Thank you for the translation help. I went back to Hilda's records and I can see I have gaps to figure out before I move forward. I am sure I will be asking more questions about this family as I work through it.
