Translation of Swedish Birth and Christening records for Jöns Nilsson in 1735
Jöns Nilsson (GRBN-JM4) was born on 31 October 1735 and christened on 1 November 1735 in Brandstad, Malmohous. His father is Nils Jönsson. On the birth and christening record attached, I need some help with translation. I couldn't seem to find the mother of Jöns or read much else of the record. I believe his mother is Margareta Knutsdotter.https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YSL9-771P?i=67&cc=1974200
Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, in this record, the mother's name isn't recorded!
This birth/christening record is a mixture of Swedish and Latin, so I will only give a translation. It reads: "the 30th of October was born Nils Jöns[son's] child in Brenstad [Brandstad] baptized the 1st of November named Jöns. The godmother: Elne ? _Losse (?) Svens(dotter?) of the same place (Brenstad). Witnesses: Per Jöns(son) in Tolånga, Mårten Jons(son) in Brenstad, Margreta Anders(dotter?) Pers ____ of the same place."
