John Benson in Swedish Census 1890 and 1900

I find Jöns, his wife Thilda and son Julius in the census for Sweden in 1890 and 1900. This may mean he didn't come to the United States until after 1900. He married Selma Antonsson on Dec. 20, 1904.

Jöns is listed in both censuses as a farmhand (jordkruksarbetare). Before I was looking for John not Jöns so I couldn't find him. The images from the 1900 census are below. The family lives in Boarp. The images from the 1890 census look the same except the family lives in Svenstad.
