I think this is Lena’s death record in Kumla in 1812.  Can you read the date and anything else interesting?  Looks like Peter survived her.

Peter Ofverman death 10 May 1825 in Harstad

According to Peter's death record he was married....... "gift".
So the record you found for her is not her.

I saw that but hoped it was wrong.  Could he have married again after Lena died?  Her death record in 1812 matches up...it mentions his name and that she was 47 years old (which she would have been).  His death record seems correct because he would have been 61 years old. I’ll keep checking.

I'll take a look tomorrow. It is late here now.

Yes you are correct, I should have read the death record first. Peter did marry again and then moved from Kumla to Harstads in 1823.

It is indeed.
All it says is that she was Peter's wife and came from Carleby village and was born 4 Dec 1764. Her father was Jonas Carlström also a soldier from the "Första livgrenadjärregementet" as was Peter.

Any luck with Lena’s mother’s name?

The mother's name wasn't recorded much back then, just the father.

I’m looking for household records for 1764 in Harstad but no luck yet.  I will keep trying.

The household records begin 1789 for Harstad Parish.
