Philip, the answer to your 2015 query(!) re LNAB is that it is a transcription erroe. The image i saw of the of the record, has the"de" in lower case.. Iapologise for not having seen this sooner! Oops, I've just seen that I answered this in 2015. may I remove the query?

The transcription is wrong. In the record the surname is de Waal.

On the baptismal record the surname is spelt de Waal. The transcriber used a capital "d".
