I am looking for possible ship(s) and destination ports/dates in US/Canada for a swedish family that left Malmø in Sweden with S/S Vesta 13th July 1882.

The family was: Lars Petter Alfred Svensson, wife Anna (born Nilsdotter) and daughter Anna - 1 year

The line was Inman and given destination in the emigration list was "Bridgewater".

Guess that they went to UK and departed for US/Canada with another Inman vessel from there ??

You are probably right in your assumptions. The Inman line was sailing Liverpool - Queenstown - New York in 1882. I don't know anything about the agents in Sweden, but the Norwegian authorization was to convey emigrants via Hull to Liverpool and from there to New York and on to the final destinations in America.
