A boy named Lars Petter was born out of wedlock in Helsingborg on November 13, 1828 as son of the maid servant Lovisa Lind. As you already have been informed, the name of the father was not noted in the birth record. He was christened on the 14th of November 1828. (Helsingborg town parish, birthrecords 1828).
The spelling of his name varies in different sources. In the early records his first names are registered as Lars Petter, in later ones as Lars Peter. As regards the surname Lorensson, lots of different spellings are rendered in the records.
Lars Petter and his mother Lovisa Lind moved from Helsingborg to the parish of Viken where Lovisa was born and her mother Ingar Andersdotter still lived. The migration certificate issued in Helsingborg in 1829 states that Lovisa Lind was a woman with a good reputation ("wälfrejdad") although she had given birth to a child out of wedlock.
On November 19 1830 Lars Petter's mother Lovisa Lind was married in Viken to Lorentz Ericksson Leijon from Helsingborg. Lorentz Leijon was employed as "stadsmätare", i e an official whose duty it was to supervise the obligatory weighing and measuring of goods in the town.
Lars Petter grew up in Helsingborg with his parents and sisters. The family first lived at Nr 245 and then at No 99. (Helsingborg city parish, 1831-1837, page 319).
Lars Peter Lorensson married Johanna Bengtsdotter on October 4, 1857 in the parish of Stora Harrie (adjacent to the parish of Virke). (Marriage certified on migration certificate, dated October 4, 1857). Johanna Bengtsdotter moved from Virke to Reslöv in connection with her marriage. According to the parish records of Reslöv Lars Peter Lorentzon acknowledged Johanna's son Olof as his own. (Reslöv household records 1858, AI:24, page 3). Johanna Bengtsdotter had given birth to a son named Nils on July 13, 1851 in the parish of Gullarp. Nils was brought up together with the other children born in the marriage of Johanna and Lars Peter.
The following children were born to Lars Peter Lorensson and Johanna Bengtsdotter according to the parish household records of Reslöv:
-
- Olof, born on December 12, 1854 in Virke,
- Bengta, born on May 21, 1858, in Reslöv,
