Seeking parentage of Dirk Wesseling of 18th century Enschede

[ria jongman]

Concerning Catharina Wesseling, I was able to turn this document up from 1783 (starts with scan 393):

It looks like a guardianship action in the event of her death.

Aha, beautifull ! And Perfect. It means that Antoni must be married before that date, will he be related.

And there is an eldest daughter named Antje!
Jan Honderdos lives at that time in Haarlemmerliede, so maybe Catharine her burial is there to find?

I think so. Catharina dies in October 1782. Husband Jan remarries the following year. It makes complete sense. And it wouldn't be the first time there's been scribal errors in official records. I laughed over the Keyser. Wondered if it was some kind of a joke?

I don't know, but Just above de date 12-10 is written
13-08-1782 het lijk van een kind van Hendrik Keijser genaamd Anna
So Hendrik Keijser does exist

Guess we either have another Catharina/Trintje Wesseling here or could Catharina and Jan Hoenderdos got divorced? Unsure of the likelihood of the latter, but I am more inclined to agree with the former. The search goes on.

[ria jongman]

Divorced? Impossible.
I think it's better to just keep looking

That's what I'll be doing. Thanks for clarifying the divorce issue. That would have been quite a challenge attempting to track down that info.

A testament, dated 14 August 1770 for Jan Hoenderdos and Catharina Wesseling. Not much in the way of genealogical significance (starts at scan 91):

It does mean something important, because Jan his father is still alive at that time and her parents are both died.
If Jan died without childeren his father becomes ' de legtieme portie ' and her parents are not mentioned.
So this the prove that Jurrien is died before 14 aug 1770

NB they are then living under Schalkwijk!
