Referring again to www.familysearch.org, in Axel's profile, a submission by Nickolas Burt, is the history provided to John Burt as [part of a genealogy program in Sweden. This is the record which gave us the history going back to Anders Larsson, tax collector and mayor of Uddevalla.
This record reports that Axel went to work in Hisingen at Rambergs Bruk.
I have been unable to exactly identify this place; however, Hising is identified as the country's third largest island, and the original site of what became Göteborg. An internet search for Rambergs Bruk gave me a few axe making foundries- which is not unreasonable, but again, I cannot confirm this.
This article goes on to say that due to the persecution LDS members were subjected to that Axel went to sea in 1862, never returning to Sweden.
Axel - Charlie - settled in New Orleans, later migrating to Utah.
