Help with Birth and Marriage Records

I am trying to determine who were Annika Larsdotter's parents. She was born January 1684, but I'm not sure if either of the records below are her. What is the translation of each record? (Stora Mellösa. Orebro, C:1, 1660-1684).Also, in Annika's September 17, 1712 marriage record below does it say anything about her husband Sven's age (I am trying to find his birth/parents)- I do not understand the last couple of lines? (Stora Mellösa, Örebro, E: 1,1705-1767).

Hello @DebbieRose DebbieRose​ ,

1. The top 2 records are marriages. Unfortunately the entries are very short just giving the name of the groom, name of bride, and the running total of marriages within the year. The Anna Persdotter in the top one and Anna Oloffsdotter are brides in marriage section. I ca see that you would wonder because the heading in this section is difficult to read. The word Brŭdfolk, and especially the letter r was stretched out. The birth and christenings for Stora Mellösa in 1684 are on image 47 (see Stora Mellösa (T) C:1 (1660-1684) Image 47).
2. The 2nd entry reads: On the same day was engaged the bachelor Sven Andersson of Sånåcker with the maiden Annika Larsdotter from Börs..? (maybe a variation on Börsholm). The morning gift (a portion of the estate entitled to the wife upon the death of the husband) was promised for 10 lod silver and 3 koppor (at this time the Swedes had a dual monetary system built on silver and copper). Anders Ersson and Sven Andersson of Sånåcker were present at the time of engagement. The wedding day is not stated.

 

Best regards,

Geoff
