Need help sorting out unsourced and undated profile.

Question

I've run into a series of undated and unsourced profiles (no manager.) Wife's name (on profile) does not match any records found. The one reference I found on GenealogyOnline has the birth date of this couple almost 100 years AFTER their grandchildren.

I do not actually speak/read Dutch, just recognize some words. There is probably more information in scanned documents that I simply can't understand. My thoughts would be to simply change the wife's name to match the found birth records, but have left it with research notes for now.

In over my head!

Answer 1

I looked into the case, and I see only one way forward: find his marriage to Maria. It is not in any index, that makes Maria from Bergeyk less likely (but not impossible)

He was a soldier, so tracking Petrus through the garrisons might be an option. I do not have the specific knowledge to help here.

Adding a military tag might attract the right knowledge.

Answer 2

I added the source for the marriage of Henricus Jansen and Maria Willems in 1715 Bergeyk.

Petrus Beugels had his first marriage in Groningen, working as a soldier for E. van Glinstra, went to Breda, married the same woman again - this time catholic - and had his first child in Breda (military base), second child in Nijmegen.

His marriage to the daughter of Henricus and Maria is his second marriage. Henricus Jansen is witness June 17, 1771 in Nijmegen at the baptizing of his granddaughter Maria Elisabeth Beugels. The other witness is Maria Elizabeth de Jongh, probably not his wife.

Comments

If indeed the Petrus Beugels marrying in Groningen is the same as the father of the children in Grave, Vorden and Nijmegen tracking could be easier. In Groningen his company is named, and his function does look a bit specialised. It also means he is nòt born somewhere in the Netherlands.

Still: If they are the same.

The second marriage has a good chance of linking them. I tried Grave, but failed.

---

He was born in Amstenrade in the Hertogdom of Gulik. As a soldier living in Groningen, Breda, Grave, Vorden and Nijmegen: these are all places of a garrison.

Answer 3

Not an answer, but does wikitree provide a way to mark an entry as suspicious or something?

Add ===Research Notes=== and write it down.

Keep the relation intact to find the profile in connection to other. If more sources are found correction can take place at any time... (this is Wikitree).

Answer 4

See the profile of Eelco van Glinstra, so you can read the military career of this person. [[Van_Glinstra-36|Eelco van Glinstra (1683-1768)]]. 

Henricus Jansen his son in law served in 1754 in the Grenadier Compagnie and Bataillon of Lt. Gen. E. van Glinstra.
