Thank you. Is this an oddity for the times being identified by the last name of her husband as opposed to what I know her by as Else Evensd. ?

Yes it would be a bit odd - especially if this were a quite rural area where traditional naming persisted longer than the cities. But humans do make errors.

Actually, her name in the deathrecord is written as Else Tollofs', where ' is typically short for datter.

Yes which adds to the confusion as again I know her by Else Evensd'. Maybe the recorder was just ahead of the curve.
