[#45527] Erik Evensen Venedokken who died April 14, 1842 in Aal, Hallingdal

[Gjest Clark Monson]

In looking in the parish register for Aal, Hallingdal I find my ancestor who died April 14,1842. I can't read or understand what the word before his name is or means. There is a word written before Erik Evensen. Also the person above his death has the same word written before that name. Can anyone check and tell me what it means? Thank you!

I Ministerialbok nr.I.5 for Aal side 325. nr. 13 er der skrevet:Død 14 april. Begravet 21 april. Salmaker Erik Evensen Venedokken. 60 (Aar gammel) A.K. (Aal kirke).Han hadde altså vært salmaker og hatt sitt arbeid med å lage ridesaler og seletøy til hester.Med vennelig hilsen Olav Åge Strøm.(Noen som vil oversette?).

hello,Olav Åge Strøm repeated in Norwegian the informations from the parish register, and asked for someone to translate:the written word before Erik Evensen, is SALMAKER, meaning saddle-maker or saddler (for a living, Erik made saddles/harness for horses).vennlig hilsen Astrid K. Natvig.
