At some point before 1864, it appears that Lotta moved from Helmsjo Alvsborg to Goteborg och Bohus. She was nearby for her nephew Jakob's baptism and was recorded as witness to it. She later worked alongside her niece as a maid in the Lindgren household, a retired army major. She was 55 by the time that census was taken, and still unmarried. But she appears to have been very involved with her sister Johanna's family, living nearby and having strong ties with Hilda Sophia.
