Translation Request: Swedish Burial Record, Torp Parish, Älvsborg, 1733

Joellen McAlister

I believe I have found the burial record of my 6th great grandmother, Elin Larsdotter (GZJ4-7DL), in 1733, Torp Parish, Älvsborg, Sweden, but need confirmation on the translation. Her husband was Pehr Olufsson Dahl, a soldier. The record is on page 217, image 337. I can't tell where one record ends and the next begins! https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6LVS-B3K?i=336&cc=1978773&cat=352104

I would really appreciate a full translation. I don't believe her name is listed but believe it says she is soldier Pehr Dahl's wife. Is the burial date 21 April 1733? Farm name?

Thank you for your help!

The burial date is Dominica Jubilate which in 1733 was 26 April. The record starts with the place name Öst[ra] Ellene:

Öst Ellene

Soldatens Pehr Dahls hustru

54 åhr dito Ryttaren Olufs

barn ibidem ? åhr

So, there are two burials from the same place, the wife of soldier Pehr Dahl, 54 years old, and the child of the horseman (cavalryman) Oluf[sson?], ? years old.

Östra Ellene was a place name in Torp parish (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Torp_Parish,_%C3%84lvsborg,_Sweden_Genealogy) but I can't find it on modern maps. Maybe it corresponds to the place now called Ellenö (https://kartor.eniro.se/s%C3%B6k/ellen%C3%B6).
