Changes to Varnum parish

I am trying to follow the movement of an Eva Sophia Walstrom through the clerical surveys. The last entry I have found so far states she moved in Dec 1861 to "St 191."

In the moving out records for Varum for 1861, the year ends with the statement:

"No. 138 to 248 - See Stadens (I think) Moving In records."

So evidently, Eva Sophia was one of the 111 people who were transferred to a different parish's records.

 

Does anyone know what parish "Staden" would be? Where I would look for her next?

 

Thanks for any help.

The Staden (city) here is Kristinehamn. Varnum was also called as Kristinehamns lanförsamling (land parish).

Here she is in staden p. 191

Thank you! Found her and was able to continue on until she emigrated to North America.
