I'm interested in #45. I can't read the last column, all the way on the right. I think it has something to do with where she was born, and being as she was illegitimate and both her parents came from the same area I'm really curious what it says.

Ok so the heading for that column reads, "Ved uægte Børn af hvem Opgaven er skeet, enten Barnemoderen, eller hvilken bekjendt og troværdigt Medlem af Menigheden". Which basically means, "For illegitimate children, who provided the information [for the child's birth and identity of the father] whether it was the child's mother or which known and trustworthy member of the congregation." So the column tells who gave the information to the priest.
In this case it appears to have been "Gaardbruger (Farm User) Hans Skøj." His last name is difficult to read, but its just the informant.

Thanks to all of you for your help translating and in further research. I love having such an uncommon name to be searching on. Wish all those folks had such unusual names!
