Sweden Place Name

[Britt]

Can anyone help with a place in Sweden?
The groom was born  around 1840 in Karls Krole, Sweden. It may no longer exist or the place may have been renamed or the spelling may be incorrect. It could be that the Minister who was English / Australian phonetically spelt what he thought he heard. The groom was a firm confidant writer, when he signed the certificate.

Hi

Several  possibilities: Karlskrona, Karlskoga, Karlshamn, Karlstad....

What's the name of your groom?

Jan

Thanks for the reply, his name is Petterson.

Thought I'd have a look in a Swedish database I have access to, but "Petterson 1840" will return an awful lot of hits.

Any more details?

On the various records I have, (and this would be due to the local Regristrar) the surname has been spelt Peterssen / Pettersen / Petterson, etc. He spelt his own name as Petterson. His given names have been recorded as Oliver, Olover, August, Augustus and Gustav.

Could be hard, but here are some suggestions:

Thanks very much for the info. I have the names of his parents, do you have access to marriages? This may help to decide whether karlskrona is the correct spelling of the place where he was born. His parents are recorded as Peter Petterson (and all the various spellings), and mary Ingleson & Ingles. This made me smile as I recalled Mary Ingles in Little House on the Prairie.

It is possible for me to move one level up - to parent level for each of them.

It is however a bit time consuming, are there any of them in particular that attracts your attention?

This is the closest I get, unfortunately:
(father's name matches, but not mother's)

Peter Pettersson b 1813 Augerum, Blekinge län; married Elin Abramsdotter b 1808 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
Children:
Annika Maria Petersdotter
b 1837 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
Sven Peter Petersson
b 1838 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
Holger Petersson Petersson
b 1840 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
Per Petersson
b 1843 Jämjö, Blekinge län; d 1843 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
August Petersson
b 1845 Jämjö, Blekinge län; 
Jöns Petersson
b 1849 Jämjö, Blekinge län 

This August had a son who went to America and died there in 1897.

No hits at all for "Augustus" or "Oliver" Petterson....
