Dear list, While transcribing a record from the Amsterdam Archives I noticed on the same page the marriage intention of a William Waldron. I’m not familiair with the Waldron family, so maybe this is old news, or he could belong to a different branch of the family than Resolved and Joseph. This is the record: 31 maart 1639 Willem Walteringh, van Grootshuysen, barbier, noch ouders in Engel~ hebbend, woon~ op de Zeedyck & Aeltje Gerrits van Lingen, out 28 jaer, woon~ als voorn~ nog ouders hebbend tot Lingen. [in de kantlyn] out 26 jaer Dese personen syn getrout den 17 April 1639 tot Amstelveen, door Simon Wilmerdonx pred~ aldaer [ondertekend] William Waldron, [haar merk] DTB 450p243 - Huwelijksintekeningen in de kerk Translation: 31 March 1639 Willem Walteringh, from Grosthuysen, barber, still having parents in England, living on the Zeedyk, & Aeltje Gerrits from Lingen, 28 years old, living as above, still having parents in Lingen [in the margin] 26 years old These persons are married on 17 April 1639 in Amstelveen by Simon Wilmerdonx, minister there [signed] William Waldron, [her mark] DTB 450p243 Marriage intentions in the church Although the clerk or the minister spelled his name incorrectly, his signature is very clear. Grosthuizen is a village a few miles north of Amsterdam close to the coast of the former Zuiderzee, just a little south-west of Hoorn. Being born in abt. 1613 and having the same name William as the grandfather of Resolved and Joseph ....... He fits, but there is no proof. Usually sponsors at baptisms can be very helpful to prove relationships, but unfortunately I did not find any children for this couple in Amsterdam. Regards, Cor Snabel The Netherlands
