Neither of these 19th Century partial-strike cancels is wholly readable, but I would like to know what were the names of the towns in which they were canceled. Maybe these were former spellings of those places.
The left one has a clear LANNAS but there seem to be 4 more characters in that name that I cannot figure out. My sources list places in Sweden named Lannas, but no place with LANNAS and four more letters.
The right one seems to be OFVERUM or UFVERUM. The top of that first letter is lost. My sources list neither of those as place-names in Sweden.
Any help with these puzzlers would be appreciated.

The first one is LANNASKEDE

The second one is OFVERUM (with two dots on the O), also spelled OVERUM.
