This marriage record of Johannes Pettersson and Kirstin Jonsdotter, 14 June 1789 in Breared, Halland, Sweden shows words that I think are place names after Kristin Jonsdtr's name but I can't decipher. Can anyone else?

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q24L-M18F

I find Swedish Household Records in Enslov, Halland, Sweden for this couple where Kristin's birth date is consistantly shown as 5 Sept 1763, but the place is not shown except on one record where it is a ditto for her husband's birth place of Breared. I want to see if the place names on the marriage record can help me find her birth place as she isn't in the Breared or Enslov birth records. Thanks!

    The place is Eskhult. After Eskhult, there is "Brudgården or Brunsgården" written, which could be part of the name, but I can't find a place like that. The Family Search Wiki for Breared Parish shows a place called Äskilt (Eskhult).

    Would this be the place she was born, or where she was living when she married?

    It would be the place where she was living when she married.

    There are moving records for Breared for this time period, and there is a moving-in record for a Kirsten Jönsdotter in 1783. There are several abbreviations in the record (especially the 2nd line) which I don't understand, but I can make out that she is coming from Enslöf (Enslöv) and I think from "Trelabr." (possibly Träleborg?). I looks like the last line says she came in the "in 7th month", ie. July. That record is here (entry #3): https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0010209_00013#?c=&m=&s=&cv=12&xywh=1693%2C1501%2C1789%2C1147.

    I looked through all of the move-ins between 1780 and 1789 and this is the only Kirsten Jönsdotter, so there is a good chance she is the correct one.

    Edit: After looking more closely at the move-in, I think she is moving from Enslöf "to Torlebo?" (in Breared Parish) instead of from "Trelabr." in Enslöf Parish.
