Tere Rexu
I think it means something.
Lohja was an inn at Hara Laht in those days. Today it is a house in Hara küla.
Hans was living in Klaukse talu, Uuri küla.
Hans had probably left his wife Tio for a much younger woman and had at least 3 children with his new woman.
Can the word "sörgepärra" have something to do with that?
I am not quite sure if I agree.I think there is not any meaning, it is just the name of the house from Lohja region, Lohja is a region in Lääne-Virumaa

it was just my opinion
Hi!
It was just my opinion; you don’t have to take it seriously, if you think differently. I am not a professional in that area and especially not in that region. My own roots are in the Southern Estonia.
But just that you understand what I meant, I also have weird names in my roots, for example: Tolmatzi Adam, Kokke Jacob, Koljokrisa Andres, Sikka Juhhan, Humma Jan. And those names are also impossible to translate.
Sõrgepärra definitely does not have that meaning, what you described.
There is not such word in Estonian language, at least not today.
But if you still want to translate it, then look in the dictionary:
Sõrg can be chela, pincer
Pera, pära can be afterpart, upstage of the ship or it is something, which is left over; actually there can be many meanings.
I also doubt that it was possible that husband left his wife and took a younger woman; at least in my practice I haven’t found such cases. For my understanding in those times one could marry a new wife only when the previous wife was dead. But I am not historian of course, maybe it was possible.
One more thing – this Tio, Hans’ wife was 87 years old when she died, might it be that they had a son Hans, who had the young wife?
I wish you a good luck in your investigations. 8)
