This is a birth / christening record for Johanna Petrea Thomine Bentsen. Could someone help translate the entry below? The first column appears to be the parents; names but not sure what the other information in that column is. Am not sure what the second column is - perhaps witnesses or godparents?

    The first column has the parents names:

    Unmarried Johanne Cathrine Nielsen, 18 years old in Aaby (Åby)

    Batchelor/farmhand Thomas Bentsen in Aaby/Åby (in Arrenth[?])


    The second column has the witnesses/godparents:

    Husmand (cottager) Anders Christian Povelsens wife (from) Aaby

    Pigen (maid) Karen Kristine Pedersen (from) Aaby

    Husmand (cottager) Anders Chr(istian) Povelsen (from) Aaby

    Unk(arl-batchelor/farmhand) Jeppe Povelsen (from) Aaby

    Thank you so much. This explains why we've been unable to find a marriage record for the parents.
