Population of Hishult parish, Sweden, in 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870

I thought I would start a new thread. I am looking for the population of a specific parish in the five years noted above. I have used the mantals tax records to calculate the population for 1800, 1810 (flawed) and 1820. I have used Riksarkivet to give me the total indexed number of folks in the parish for 1880, 1890 and 1900. Any ideas on the intervening years? I understand there may be some statistical books at SLC that might help? If I knew the names I would hire someone to look for me. Thanks in advance.

I've heard that Sweden did purely statistical censuses every 10 years but I don't know the details or where to access them.

Also ArkivDigital would probably scan the rest of the tax lists for you for a small fee.

Tanner, I am interested! Do you know how to contact them? Just through my subscription?

Thanks, Tanner. Done! We'll see what they say.

Thanks Tanner for the suggestion, but it didn't work. They came back and almost said they wouldn't do it. Too much time to do the task. They would have to do the whole book of multiple parishes for each of the years and they didn't have the time and I didn't have the money to finance that. Back to counting people in the clerical surveys. Sigh.
