I looked at the reference mentioned in the Emibas CD lookup after I couldn't find the birth of Andreas Svensson Ågren in the birth records for 1823 in Hovmantorp. (I was looking at the scanned original birth records using the fee-based Arkiv Digital site.)
The household examination records covering Hovmantorp 1853-1856 doesn't list Hovmantorp as his birth place. I don't know where the transcriber for the Emibas CD found the Hovmantorp birthplace for this person. The record says he was born in Hemmesjo and his wife was born in Linneryd.

I then looked for the birth record for Andreas Svensson (literally son of Sven) Ågren in the parish birth/baptism records for Hemmesjö med Tegneby parish and found him.

Andreas was born 21 March and baptised 24 March 1822. His parents were Sven Andersson and Marta Bengtsdotter. The father was a torpare (tenant farmer) under (on the property of) Åryd which was a place in the parish. The mother was 41 years, 8 months old. Baptism witnesses were also listed.
I then searched for the birth of Helena Håkansdotter (literally, daughter of Håkan). I found the birth of a Lena (probably Helena) in Linneryd parish.

Lena (probably Helena) was born 19 March and baptised 24 March 1819. Her parents were Håkan Bengtsson and Elin Nilsdotter. The mother was 43 years old. Baptism witnesses were also listed. The parents lived in Siggalycke in Linneryd parish.
