Between 1848 and 1857, 5 children were born and baptised in Finland. The parents were Alexander Auguste Ahlstedt and Johanna Vilhelmina Lothman [evidence from LDS files for children's baptisms]
2 children came to England and have been documented and researched.
I am interested in the 3 children that remained in Finland along with their parents. The 3 children are:
Alexandra Adolfina Alexandersson - bapt. January 27, 1850, Rauma, Turku-Pori, Finland
Sofia Frederica Alexandersson - bapt. December 20, 1853, Uusikaupunki, Turku-Pori, Finland
Beda Lovisa Alexandersson - bapt. September 15, 1857, Uusikaupunki, Turku-Pori, Finland
Any help at all is appreciated.

This may well be the right one as the brth in 1821 would makr him aged 26 in 1847 when the 1st child born to Aleander and Johannah was baptised. The problem I am having with the site you and Pam have alluded to is that I cannot find a marriage in the coumtries listed.
Maybe I am just half-asleep .

I presume that you mean country as in Finland?
As far I can using find out using google 'Suomalainen Seurakunta' means Finnish parish.
Turku is the parish/town, and Turku Pori is the county.
Reading further, there is a link which says it was part of Sweden from 1634-1809, though as that's before the dates you're currently looking at, I wouldn't worry too much about that at the moment. Though, it might just be worth entering Sweden as the country, instead of Finland, when searching for the marriage.
What does concern me is that you seem to think that you should automatically be able to find details of the marriage on the internet. (That's the impression I get anyway.) Frankly, I work on the basis that if I find details of any event on the internet it's (almost) a miracle, as I'm sure that for every transcription there must be literally thousands (tens? hundreds of thousands?) of entries which have not been transcribed.
In your position, I would scour cyndislist to find a Finnish Genealogical Society or a similar body, and ask them for some pointers in how to begin research for Finland.

Hi Colin, I think I gave you information on locating online a family history society in Finland that is digitising parish records online before https://www.british-genealogy.com/for...l=1#post414626
Was it of any use? Even if the records you may be after are not digitised, but there is also a forum you can use there and a lot more experts on Finland there. Kaysii
