Willemje & Jan's Intention to marry, banns & marriage entry
They registered their intention to marry on 12 August 1786 and were married just two weeks later[2].
Their Banns may only have been read once. A bit of a rush due to the pregnancy I expect!
Willempje then gave birth to Kornelis, Marten, Teunis and Harmen.

Willempje and Jan had 4 children[4,9]:-
1. Kornelis de Bas was

Geertruij must have died sometime before November 1837 when Marten married a second time with Hermijntje Bismeijer on 25 November 1837 in Weesp. Marten is described as a Widower. Marten was now 47 years old and was still working as a Tailor. Hermijntje was 31 years old, born ca 1806 in Weesp and her parents were Michiel Bismeijer and Evertje van Gijn[7].

Stange days indeed! The 1849 census of Weesp shows the family
living at Breedstraat 4. Marten was still working as a Tailor.
Machiel worked as a Painter's Servant (maybe Apprentice) and Cornelis worked as a Shoemaker's Servant (maybe Apprentice). Interestingly, Marten and Cornelis stated
their religion as Netherlands Reformed and Hermaijntje and Machiel as
Roman Catholic[8].
