Help with Death Record for Mats Persson and wife Catherina Persdotter

[Robert Goranson]

Looking for assistance in finding the reason for death of two individuals who died in 1790 in Säfsnäs Parish, Dalarnas Län .

Mats Persson and Catherina Persdotter were married 24 June 1786.  I know they had two children Maja and Catharina.

Mats Persson died on 9 November and buried on 21 November
Catharina Persdotter Hustra (wife) died on 19 October and buried on 30 October.

Catherina is individual number 23 and Pers is individual number 30 on the attached.

Any help would be appreciated.

Catherina Persdotter dies in "barnsäng", dead of complications when giving birth. Mats Persson had "håll och sting", an old phrase for pneumonia

huggorm,

Thanks so much for the response.  I appreciate the quick response.  That totally makes sense now.

I found the record of the child that was born when Catherina died.  Her name was Maja.  I take it the last column mentions the Child's Mother died shortly after child birth?  See attached.  Am I correct?

Thanks again.

Yes, that is correct. "Mother died in child-bed and the child two days after"
