Correct death record?
I am looking for the death record of Berthe Toresdatter, born some time around 1762. I believe the last line on the left hand side of image 175 here: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/7412/175?indexing= is a possibility, but I need some help deciphering all the words. It seems like this might be saying she was 27 in 1795. The Berthe I am looking for had her first child in 1778, so I don't think she could have been 27 in 1795 (17 years after her first child). Is there any chance the age listed here is wrong?
Thank you!

It looks like that line lists Berthe Thoresdotter Buer, 1 year old, followed by 28 June Thor Fyversen, 27 years old. The priest is listing two, sometimes three deaths on a single line; the age of the person follows the person's name in this document, so the Berthe whose death record you're looking at was, I believe, only 1 year old.
