Translation of two Danish Christening records on same Image: Anders and Hans, sons of Erick Hansen
My problem is there are two sons born to Erich Hansøn, KNYW-RKX, in Stokkemark Parish, Maribo, Denmark within a four month period! Is there any information or a mother's name that would help me determine which child belongs to this Erich Hansen?
Anders, son of Eric Hansøn in Stokkemarke_______ of Anna , Hans Mo___ers wife, was christened 22 October 1747. (Top left second entry down) Left page.
Hans, son of Erick (?) Hansøn in Blandz Stokkemarke, was christened 25 February Right side third from the bottom of page. 1748. https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/da/billedviser?epid=23487159#603479,92976474 (this is the Danish Archives link)
In familysearch both of these records are on image 48 in 1747-1748 Stokkemarke christenings.https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-894W-X3RF?i=47&cc=2078555&cat=305411
I'm concerned there are multiple Eric Hansøn's having children in Stokkemarke at the same time and not sure how to distinguish them without the mother's name.
I've included both the Danish site and the Family Search site for your convenience.

It looks like there were 2 Eric Hansen's but they were living in different parts of the parish, which will help you to distinguish them.
On the one for Anders, it says Erik Hanson's son i At(?). The i means of, meaning the person is living in a particular place. This At(?) is the part of the parish where he is living.
On the one for Hans, it says Erik Hanson's son i Folantz(?). This Erik Hanson is living in a different part of the parish.
I'm not sure what these place names are exactly, they aren't coming up for me in the online gazetteer Krbasens for Stokkemarke parish, and I'm not very good at reading place names so hopefully someone else can figure those out, : http://www.krabsen.dk/stednavnebase/
In the old records like this, I always look for probate records as well to make sure I got all of the families figured out correctly. It can be very easy to mix people up, especially in a case like this where there are multiple men having children in the parish at the same time.

I'm not seeing that there are probate records for this parish during this period of time unfortunately, at least not listed in the FamilySearch catalog, so that may not be possible for this family.
