Rev. Wilhelm Heikinpoika Peura

Church record "Children book 1875 -1883" from Viitasaari parish:

https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/viitasaari/las...

Wilhelm and his sister Fredrika are mentioned here under their parents Henrik Gabriel Peura and Fredrika Lohilax. In Finland most of the women didn't use the married names (unless they widowed) before 1920's when it became obligatory to take husband's name.

Here's Wilhelm's birth in the book of babtized:

Wilhelm/William once more in church records with his birth surname Peura (Wilhelm Heikinpoika Peura):

Viitasaari - rippikirja, 1890-1899 (AP_I I Aa:17) > Sivu 303 305: sivu ???: Ilmolahti, No 3 Kinnula Puustelli Ruuhijärvi torp, Murto torp; SSHY: https://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/sivut/jasenille/paikat.php?bid=317... / Viitattu 3.12.2020

Heikinpoika is the Finnish tranlation of name Henriksson, literally Henrik's son. I have not yet figured out if he changed his own name to Lahtinen (lahti=bay) as many did, when it was fashionable to take names from the nature, but I have not seen it used in the family otherwise. I don't think that there were such a person as Heikki Lahtinen at all, I found no evidence of that unless William's mother had married again after 1910.

Here's the last record of Wilhelm Peura (peura means deer) in Viitasaari, stating that he is free to move to Kuolajärvi 1902, I have not yet checked if the records from Kuolajärvi are available:
