Swedish Translation of Burial Record in 1744, Brandstad Parish, Malmöhus, Sweden, child of Nils Jöns
Nils Jönsson, LH1S-ZTS, appears to be the father of a little girl who was buried 17 Dec. 1749 in Brandstad Parish. Would you please translate this record? It's been difficult following Nils. I was unable to find a probate for him to see which children lived to be adults. Apparently the mother of this child died in Bjällerup Parish in 1748 where Nils married again in 1749. Does this burial record indicate he was a widower at this time? It is on page 102 in the Brandstad Burial records.
Thank you so much for your help!

Here is what I read:
__: 17. Post Trinit: d. 9 Septbr Begrafdes Nills Jönsons Lilla Piga __? härifrån Branstad _rart? hemma döpt & kallades Kierstina. dödl? strax? efter det _vart döpt.
Translation:
__: 17th after Trinity, September 9 was buried Nills Jönson's little daughter __? from here Brandstad _? baptized at home and was called Kierstina. Died soon? after that she was baptized.
My comment: There is no mention of Nils Jönsson being a widower. September 9, 1744 was the Wednesday between the 15th and 16th Sunday after Trinity Sunday, so there seems to be a discrepancy in the description of the date.
