Place names in Sweden

I am having trouble reading the marriage record for my great grandparents. It looks like my great grandmother is from a place called Solwatorp. They were married in Tumberg, Alvsborg, Sweden. Does this sound like a name anyone recognizes? I would like to try to find her birth record on ArkivDigital. Thanks, Dana

Arkiv Digital shows that Tumberg parish records were found in Kullings parish. The household examination place register for Kullings for 1861-1878 shows a listing for Sölvatorpet. The Swedish portal on the FamilySearch Wiki has a page for each parish. For most of them there is a listing of all the villages and farms in the parish.
