Remark: I can’t find Inga’s birth record even with her exact date of birth, as well as the household examination records though her name looks very Swedish. I’m afraid that she might had been an abandoned child, just like one of PewDiePie’s great-great-grandmothers.
I have finally found Inga’s baptismal record. https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/00050356_00072
She was the daughter of Arvid Gerhard Linder and Mary Paulina Jönsson. Arvid was the son of Anders Johan Linder and Augusta Wilhelmina Eriksson. Mary was the daughter of Jöns Peter Jönsson and Maria Pålsson.
