It has been transcribed as "Van Weert" on the the website It is not an additional name, Weert is the place he came from, like the bride was "van Rotterdam". He lived in Rotterdam in the Nieuwe Vrancke straet (Nieuwe or Lange Frankenstraat, not existing anymore, http://gemeentearchief.rotterdam.nl/straatnamen-overzicht/frankenstraat-lange). She lived in the Hoogstraat which still exists.
