Dutch translation request - Sailor who died in Western Australia

Question

Petrus Augustinus van der Spek was a Dutch sailor who died in Albany, Western Australia on 7 July 1859.

His death was registered in both Western Australia and the Netherlands.

Is there anything of interest that can be gleaned from his Dutch death record?

Answer 1

Here's what I've been able to gather.

He's the son of Adrianus (van der Spek) and Johanna Kerklaan and was born in The Hague.

He died aboard the Dutch frigate "Geertruida Maria" at King George Sound. (More info about the ship and a few images: https://www.marhisdata.nl/schip&id=13289)

His birth record can be found here: "Netherlands, Zuid-Holland Province, Civil Registration, 1679-1942," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939D-WCSP-HQ?cc=1576401&wc=9P6C-7M9%3A108152501%2C111242601 : 8 July 2014), 's-Gravenhage > Geboorten 1833-1834 > image 520 of 693; Nationaal Archief, Den Haag (National Archives, The Hague).

Great! Thanks! I will update his profile with this information in a bit.

Answer 2

Yes. It states his age, 25 years, and the names of his parents Adrianus (van der Spek) and Johanna Kerklaan.
