Swedish Translation 1771 death record in Bjällerup Parish for Nils Jönsson and Probate help
My 7th great grandfather is Nils Jönsson, LH1S-ZTS. On his death record I can read the following: ____________ 3 April 1771 buried tenant farmer Nils Jönsson residing on the farm of Stora Bjällerup. He died the 26th March _____________________ age 66 years. I would love some help filling in the blank. The record is on page 304 and the image number is 266.https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YSL9-S3L9?i=265
The marriages that are attached to him are conflicting, so I was hoping to find his probate record to help clear it up. I was unable to find it in the indexed probates on family search or on ArkivDigital. I would appreciate some advice for trying to find it moving forward.
Thanks
Nathan Taylor

I have a minute to do the translation, but the probate will have to wait. I will try to help with that later.
Your record starts "Fierde [fiärde] dag Påsk eller d. 3 April" which is "the fourth day of Easter or the 3rd [of] April". Easter was 31 March 1771 so the 4th day of Easter is 3 April. See the Moveable Feast Day Calendar here:
.The other part is his cause of death: "af åhlderdoms svaghet ock bräcklighet = of old age weakness and frailty".
