Please help read a Swedish death record!
I'm researching Jonas Persson Bremberg, 9HP4-2HW. I found his death record and it appears the mother's name is different than what I thought. (Please see his parents' marriage information to know where Caisa Persdotter's name came from.) The death record I found shows Jonas Bremberg died 1 January 1781 and was buried on the 7th January 1781. He was 63 years old. His parents are Per Larsson and Catharina (??) in Brännabo. (Redslared Parish) I need his mother's last name and all other information. (According to the tax lists in Redslared Parish there was only one family living in Brannabo. On the Redslared parish christening film 249214 on page 12 in 1722 Caisa Persdotter was a witness to a christening along with Per Larsson in Brannabo.)
Thank you so much for any help with this translation and with positively identifying his mother's full name.

His mother's name in this death record is Catharina Jonsdotter. The word above Jonas' name in the death record is "widower". The 5th column records that he "was a citizen (burgher) and a merchant __?__ a lodger and died of a chest illness (possibly pneumonia)".
Keep in mind that the mother's name could be incorrect in this record. After all, this was written many years later and is a secondary source for the mother's name.

Thank you, Norm! I appreciate your take on the mother's last name possibly being wrong.
