One person: Birth, marriage and Death record questions
I'm looking at the birth (below) for Chrissman, son of Lars, born in Stora Mellösa Parish in the year 1682. Do the words after Lars indicate a surname, a date and/or a place within the parish (or none of these)? Stora Mellösa, Örebro, C: 1, 1660-1684, image 45.
In his (Chrissman's) death record, what is the word underlined directly before his name? What is cause of death? Stora Mellösa,Örebro, F: 1, 1705-1757, image 69.
Finally, in his 1720 marriage record to Gunilla Mathisdotter from Egeby, what place is it indicating that he is from? Stora Mellösa,Örebro, E1: 1,1705-1767, image 14.

The date is "Dom Septuagesima" which for that year, was 12 February. The line of Chrisman's birth says "Lars Olofss. barn i Våstad" There is a small farm in that parish that is called Våsta which I think fits pretty well with what I see here.

In the death record, the word right before is name is änkling or widower
His cause of death is ålderdoms svaghet or weakness due to old age

I believe the place in the marriage record is Jälmarsholm - it's split between the two lines and the first part is very clear, this is the closest thing to matching the first half.

Sorry... another question. I do not see Jälmarsholm listed as a place name for Stora Mellösa Parish nor do I see it as a separate parish name for Örebro County. Any idea where Jälmarsholm may be? Thank you!

It's a small place in Stora Mellösa, in the FamilySearch Wiki, it's spelled Hjelmarsholm. I also found it with the spelling I mentioned above in Ortnamnsregistret.

There's also a place called Hjelmarsnäs that could be the place as well.
