These death records can be found here: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0070316_00158#?xywh=1846%2C1273%2C4637%2C3221&cv=157&rid=https%3A%2F%2Flbiiif.riksarkivet.se%2Farkis!C0070316%2Frange%2Fr1-1-7
This is my translation of the first record: "Sunday Oculi the 6th of March (was) buried the farm laborer Pär Hansson from Sophia(?)hus in ________ (maybe Sitt) Age 62 years".
The second record: "The same day (was) buried inhyses (inhyses is a person living gratis (costless, free) at another person's house, lodger) man's Pär Lasson's wife Elna Åkasdotter from Döved(?) 47 years old". The date of this burial was Sunday Rogate the 8th of May.
I don't believe they were husband and wife.
The letters to the right of each entry are "MK" and "QK" indicating the gender of the deceased. "MK = Mankjön = Male" and "QK = Qvinnkjön = Female".

Thanks, Norm, for your comments. Here's a little background on this request. My 5th GGM (Anna Pärsdotter) lived in Dörröd (See "Döved? in your comments) Number 6 with her first husband Lars Bengtsson. The tax records show an elderly couple, in poor health - per the notes in the tax records - living with them through 1747. I'm assuming both elderly people passed away in 1747 or 1748 because they do not appear in the 1748 tax record. The prior owner of Dörröd Nr 6 was a Pär Lasson or Larsson. I believe that Pär and his wife are the elderly couple in the tax records, and that Anna was their daughter.
If my assumptions are correct, and the two death records you looked are really Anna's parents, a few things would have to be resolved:
- the first entry would have to be Pär Lasson or Larsson, instead of Hansson
- His being from "Sophia" hus just doesn't make sense, unless that location is somehow connected to Dörröd
- There would have to be a 15 year age difference between Pär and his wife - possible, but not likely??
I'm curious if you have any insight or opinion on these questions.
Thanks, again for your translations!
