This is the information sent to me by the researcher in Sweden:
------------------------------------------------

CARL ERIC JANSSON BELIN. Born 1841-02-12 in Gästgifvaregården i Slyte byLillkyrka-Ödeby (T)

His mother moves home to her parents after Carl Eric was born as an illegitimate child. While his mother works as a maid in other farms he stays at his grandfather and grandmothers.

At the age of 15 Carl Eric moves to another farm in the same parish and starts working.

In 1862 he becames a solider in a special organisation of military service in Sweden at this time - indelningsverket. He is located in Bälby, Dingtuna, Västmand.

The soldiers often got names when they were recuited that sometimes was inspired from the place where they lived, sometimes out of other inspiration. But they needed short specific names, not to be mixed up. So Belin was out of Bälby. There are other families with the same name, several persons recruited to Bälby got the name.

I should also mention the little bit about the Swedish army and how surnames were given as a result was provided by another person "YivaS" on flickr.

Here's the link to the Swedish Homestead photo where she left comments:
