Titel: Question on 1761 death record
Skrivet av: Victoria Cihla skrivet 2020-05-03, 23:29

I have translated the attached death record as follows:

12 December (1761) died and 20 December (1761) buried Jöns Jönsson married to Britta Stensdotter living in Kånnå Knutsgård, 40 1/2 years old, died of hetsig feber (probably typhoid).

Can someone confirm my translation?  The question I have is does this record refer to the death Jöns Jönsson or his wife?  I don't usually see a spouse's name included.

Britta was the one dieing. When a woman died, sometimes her husband was mentioned, some priests did this more than other.

Thank you so much!  I would have totally misunderstood this record! 

Your help is much appreciated,
