Swedish translation for death of Nils Jönsson's child in Brandstad Parish, Malmöhus, 1735
I'm helping someone with his Swedish ancestry. His 7th great grandfather is Nils Jönsson, LH1S-ZTS. He has two sons by the name of Jöns so I expect the first one probably died. His # is GRBN-JM4, born 30 Oct. 1735. We found a possible death, but I'm unsure of his age. His name isn't listed. I believe the farm is also Brandstad, if you can confirm that, too. It is image 116 on film Film # 004514810 in 1736. Thank you so much for your help! Joellen McAlister https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YSL9-7712?i=115&cc=1974200&cat=189111

I'm not quite sure which record you refer to. The last but one reads as follows:
D 5 Juny Nils Jöns Barn af Bransta No Jöns a'tat 30 Vr
Translation:
On June 5th the child of Nils Jöns[son] from Bransta [Brandstad] Name Jöns Age 30 weeks
Comment: With the birthdate 30 October 1736 I calculate an age of 31 weeks and 2 days, but that seems close enough.
