* Anna Carolina Elvira Came with her family from Nacka 1882, lived at Barnangsgatan 8 until Jan. 18, 1890, when she moved to "the old city". She came back to live at her mother's home in Wermdogatan 61, later the same year and she lived there until 8/29/1893(?) when she moves to Kungsholmen, probably working as a maid. October 11, 1895 she is listed at address Asogatan 28---and as Mrs. Sundholm with three children. Then she moves to Renstjernas gata 17A where the family lives until 1900. Under this period the family has grown with 4 more children, but probably only one of them is Anna's, the other 3 are listed as foster children. 1900 they move to Stigbeergsgatan 42; 1901 moved to Borgmastaregatan 10 and Asogatan 72. *(info from Lennart.)
She she left Sweden with 2 children,Thora and Elvira, then from, Liverpool, England aboard the Saxonia. She arrived in Boston, November 2, 1904. Her last address was Stockholm. Her passage was paid by her husband (still in Sweden) and she had $5. There is a blank line under the kids names---maybe they sailed for free? (Kids had no money.) She was going to live with her brother Ernst, and his address is shown on the document, but it's not accurate. (Boston Passenger Lists Record 1820-1943, Ancestry.com) According to Lennart, Elvira later returned to Sweden.
1910 Fed. Census Anna and Thora living with Carolina (A's mother) on Neilson St., Brockton Anna is working as a nurse.
1920 Fed. Census A's listed as "head of household" at First St., Brockton. She is employed as a skiver in a shoe factory. Thora (18 and also working at shoe factory as a "bal turner" and Carolina (75, widowed and unemployed) are living with her.
1930 Census A (now 57) is living with Thora at So. Franklin St., Holbrook, MA.
Brockton Records show a marriage for Anna Carolina Nordberg and Sten E. Lawson on June 6, 1906. I doubt if that's OUR Anna. There's another Anna Nordberg working as a clerk in Brockton, 1903. Might be her.
