The Gothic script makes this hard to read.

Be sure to ALWAYS provide a full source, such as the source listing below. Even the page number would have been helpful.

Lönneberga CI:2 (1729-1828) Image 251 / page 493 (AID: v35355.b251.s493, NAD: SE/VALA/00237)

Lars was a widower (Änklingen). His residence was Haddarp, I think. That should be in the same parish since another parish was not named. That location is where he was living at the time of the marriage. It is not necessarily a birth location. Something is mentioned about the children of his previous wife. (Probably he had to have his wife's bouppteckning = estate inventory done by the time of this marriage so that the children would get their rightful share of the estate.) I see some mention of the morning gift. (Morgongåfva)

Sara was a pigan (maiden; previously unmarried woman)and I cannot read her location.

Hopefully a Swede can make a better reading and translation of this record.
