I think she was too young to be married, or at least, I've usually found that people married later in life than that. Usually they seemed to be in their late twenties.
Genline doesn't have moving out records for that year on their site. I did find her birth record.
Lovisa was born 7 August 1851 in Grevie and was baptised 10 August. Parents were the shoemaker Hellgren (no given name was listed) and his wife Pernilla Olsdotter?? Parents lived at Salomonhög 4 in that parish. Salomonhög was a village and 4 was a farm.

I didn't find the birth of Nils Petter in a VERY quick search of birth records so perhaps he was born in a different parish or maybe I just missed him. I don't have time to search the household examination records to see the parents and siblings of your Lovisa but my guess is that he was a brother or perhaps a cousin. Brother seems likely but it takes time to search the parish records and I don't have that time right now.
The M you saw was med or medakänd (spelling?) meaning who she was with.
'Skoyner' must have been an attempt to phonetically spell Skåne, the province where she lived.
If I remember later, I will post how to research in Swedish records. I have to rush off now.
