Hi all

Could someone please check that this translation is accurate?

"Sikkert har han, som de fleste andre af datidens skoleholdere, levet i stor
fattigdom; ved opgørelsen af hans bo blev der til deling mellem enken og de
to døtre kun een skilling danske."

"Certainly for most the time as a schoolmaster he lived in great poverty, at
the end of his life there was only one Danish shilling to share among his
widow and two daughters."
