I am not able to view the records by the links you posted. Maybe I have not learned how to yet, but no matter what I do, I can't see the information. Could you take a screenshot? Or any information you have, name, dates, places so I can look up the records in the churchbooks.

Your first document reads something like:
The 15th of October (was) born Nils Gustafsson's and (his) wife Ingri Månsdotter's child in Tälle of honest and Christian parents. Baptized the 17th by the chaplain and was in the baptism called Arne (I can't be sure of the name). The male witnesses'/sponsors' names and their places of residence follow. Then come the names and residences of the female witnesses/sponsors.
The second document reads:
Pauper widow Marit, (her) father Nils Nilsson, (her) mother Marit Nilsdotter, died the 8th of June of a fever (the words look like "hetsig siukdom" which would be, literally, "hot sickness"), 54 years old.
